Ah, to have a memory so short. Lest you forget the last union vote at SKW, management gave everyone a raise right before the vote, the vote went no, and then they rescinded the raise immediately! So now they give you guys an "over-ride" on the 70 seaters and everyone's happy and saying, "we don't need a union." Just wait till after the drive stops or the vote fails and they rescind the pay increase.
Until you vote in a union, SKW is just some cheap scab labor undercutting companies with unions and protected benefits, lowering the bar.

Call me crazy, but I have a feeling that your company is about three steps below Skywest on the pay/benefits/work rules. What company do you fly for? I would bet your company has lowered the bar much lower than Skywest!

You can't wait until you "need" a union and *poof* the union fairy comes with her magic wand and delivers a beautiful MEC and a fresh little contract! You NEED a union to prevent yourself from needing a union!

This appears to be a theme today...DON'T USE THE WORD SCAB WHERE IT DOES NOT APPLY!
Skywest isn't even in the same ballpark, in fact it's far better than the majority of union regionals...and I know, because I already paid my alpa dues. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any 340 operators that pay more than the EMB120 at SKW

I bet my W2 says more than yours. But like I said, I don't really care.
