ALPA could help. And I mean "ALPA with a capital A" (national) not the MEC.
All of this race for the bottom stuff could be fixed with a little unity and cooperation between the legacy pilots and regional pilots. But instead, we continue to in fight while management picks our pockets.
One List and brand scope would have prevented this.
Instead, ALPA once again forgets history, and allows another Lorenzo to pillage the industry. Except this time they really don't care, because Lorenzo is going after the regionals, not them... for now.

Does anyone else see the irony that Pinnacle and Mesaba are hiring while ASA and Comair are furloughing?
Is it just me, or is Delta trying to eliminate the high paying airlines and grow the low paying airlines? And we're all in the same union! We're right back to the Lorenzo days.
Hellooooooooooooo ALPA? Where are you?

The one thing Skywest Inc does have going is TONS of money in the bank allowing us to pretty much outlast any other regional.

Two Questions:
1.) What is the percentage of an airlines expences that is made up of pilot salaries???? I heard its like 6%??? By kicking a pilot group with threats it causes us to work harder to protect ourselves. Are we proactive as a whole or reactive???
2.) As Far as APLA national goes......Is the salary that Praterand his band of evil elves get paid effected by the loss of membership or the lowering of our wages. When this starts to happen then they will take notice!!!!!!!!
