Justmushroom, you seem to be wise, Grasshopper. So what is your opinion, will the ALPA thing pass when it comes to a vote next time? We ASA guys are getting tired of that thumping feeling in our A$$ named jerry.

I personally am for representation..and I think 90% of the pilots are. The only question is which one..ALPA has tried before and it was very close..I think 4 or 5 votes. Teamsters got shot down. An in house version was shot down BAD (for various reasons centering around the people doing the organizing).
We have a few United guys left, I think if the vote is done quickly.we may get the needed votes...
Problem are the new a--clowns who don't know jack, a few anti-organized labor types who have been burned in the past and general apathy from our group.
It's not bad at SW. Actually, I think everyone is happy. That's the problem. Management keeps it just toloralble enough not to **** everyone off but low enough so management can have a 3rd house in Aspen. We don't have any illusions about getting rich flying an rj, but we don't want to be flying A320's or 737's for $90 an hour either.
I think 66% of the pilots will vote ALPA if done within 6 months.

There is a lot to be said for that...
Compared to most alpa regionals, skywest's big problem seems to be the 700/900 rates...they do need to get that fixed before the airbuses arrive...
