Those ALPA Bros had no problem flying SkyWest aircraft while on furlough from United. Only works one way, I guess.

By not hiring Skywest pilots? Skywest can't train/staff the flying they have. By not hiring Skywest pilots UAL is helping Skywest.

You mean Jets 4 Jobs? Yeah ALPA negotiated with UAL and relaxed some scope provisions provided that Express hired furloughed UAL pilots to staff those new jets. Isnt that what ALPA is supposed to do....look out for their members? Remember those UAL pilots went to the bottom of the Skywest list and provided upgrade opportunities for more pilots due to more jets coming on the property.

ALPA looks out for ALPA, did you miss that day in class, or are you just realizing the at the 2% you so proudly proclaim to save might not be quite the savings it may seem....

Skywest pilots want all the benefit and none of the cost. Funny thing is they talk about trying to do another union drive, but after 3 tries I dont think ALPA will want to put in the money again.

Bunch of Skywest pilots are vehemently anti union, if you have a union would you want these types on the seniority list, diluting your efforts?
Unions need some semblance of unity, Skywest pilots on the surface might be seen as a liability. Go over to F/I.com and look up "HelloNewman"'s posts, he was at CAL and now UAL, he had repeatedly professed a desire to work at ridding the airline business of unions.
