I really hope this is some heavy sarcasm that I'm not picking up on.
If the movie An American Tail taught us anything, it's to "never say never."

Oh wait, there is no unity - and I'm not talking about just at SKW. I see it at every airline, and management loves it. Here at RAH, some pilot groups were offered a pay override for overtime, and nobody else was. AT SKW, 120 pilots don't get pay raises while the jet pilots do. I'm sure you can all find some example of it at your company. For being a bunch of unionized employees, we sure don't act like it.

I was actually wrong, the Bro FO's did get a raise, not much of one but they did. I'm still voting no for the proposal but just know that they got a raise.

your hurt?? man after reading your last post i am suprised anything phases you. you told those guys over there that lost their jobs that it was alpas fault for not protecting them and that they shouldn't come to skywest either because you are non union. i love how you think it is so funny to be a smart a,, when people will be out of work in a couple months, and all you can come back with is "see alpa didn't help you there".. lets review what you wrote shall we??

So I guess the good thing to do if you are a Skyway guy is not apply at Skywest since we do not have ALPA representation. We can't protect you at Skywest like ALPA protected you at Skyway with your job. Last time I checked Comair has ALPA as well, and last time I checked in March they took a major pay reduction. Skywest is at least getting a pay increase and I can guarantee they will never go out of business and will never furlough anyone. I welcome all Skyway guys to apply and get a job at Skywest and you can see firsthand what a good company is and how you will be treated here.

yeah it must be real fun to kick the guys while they are down.. and you can GUARANTEE that skywest will never lose any flying or have to furlough???? wow man how long have you been in the industry,, are you even out of groundschool?

pps, you do know that pinnacle is going to be doing all your 900 flying out of atlanta by the end of the year dont you?

No flame here. Sorry if it was taken that way. I simply believe that you guys could push for more, which would benefit the rest of us as well. As I said, I have many friends at SKW (more so than I have at XJT), and honestly wish the best for everyone over there.

Well then, I retract my comment about voting the scale down. However, I stand by my statement about pilot unity.

First of all my brother is cognitively disabled and in a home with other cognitively disabled adults and children and has been for the last 17 years so lets just ignore the fact you threw around the word "retard" and that didn't phase me. And if you take a look.... I told the Skyway guys to come apply at Skywest because we will welcome them with open arms. Was I sarcastic....of course. Maybe it is because every time I walk by a Skyway guy in MKE and VERBALLY say "how's it going" or "How are you doing" or "hello" they 9 times out of 10 they say nothing back...not even a nod of the head or acknowledgment. They give us attitude. I understand, they are mad at Skywest for taking their flying, fine....good, I understand, but now they are out of a job and need places like Skywest to help them. Also....I applied at Skyway, interviewed and was hired by them but I turned them down because back in May they openly told me the future at Skyway was in doubt so I chose Skywest because for one it is one of the best and I can be based in MKE. So now all of you Hillary Clinton clones can take your paper thin skin and write me back all of the hating replies you want, but nothing does phase me because I am happy, my wife is my sugar momma, I don't need the money, I love to fly, I love Skywest, and will always be happy.

Well isn't life nice....god forbid you're ever on the wrong end of a loss of flying..but hate to tell you, most people DO need the money...while that's not an excuse to be rude, their frustration is obvious to everyone else besides you.

Not a good way to make friends in a very small community.

Fact Skywest is a Great Outfit but it is STILL a REGIONAL and can and will Loose Flying from time to Time,

A Regional is a Regional is a Regional dont let it get to your head

PPS as far as ALPA is concerned I hope you get to a Legacy Carrier who is ALPA represented take that attitude to Said CArrier and see how far you will Get..Cheers
