You sure do spend a lot of your time, just here, defending your company management considering you are so sure their pilots don't want a union.

Even the anti union Skywest guys who read all that crap have to admit it was ridiculously childish. It literally seems like a 12 year old kid is sitting at his keyboard. Maybe the dude is at summer camp now and we can have an adult conversation.
I'm interested in the conflict of interest bit. Is it worse to have regional alpa? (Which could be mitigated by an in house union), or have Sapa which is paid by management.
I believe sapa is a textbook definition of conflict of interest.
Not that this is exactly the same, but the flight attendants at my current airline get bent over pretty regularly on re routes because they don't have a union. They have no work rule protection, and yet they won't unionize because there is a big counter union campaign constantly being pushed. It's not a good or bad thing as I respect and understand the company's goal of maximizing profits, it's just interesting.

My jab at him in that comment is aimed at his time spent on all these Skywest threads considering he allegedly just owns SKYW stock. And the fact that he absolutely does the same for all the other company stocks he owns.
Also, don't dismiss the two ex-Skywest pilots who have also commented and given their opinion now that they have worked at both a non-union and union airline.

Its interesting to watch certain people turn into rabid dogs when anyone dare question union stuff. I don't come here to convince SkyWest pilots to avoid a union, I come here to watch everyone that doesn't work for SkyWest.
Focus on my own career? This concerns my career right now. Not Skywest per se but the airline industry. You are the one who is just a stock holder and incessantly posting on regional airline boards!
