What flavor koolaid did you get today? Swirlin’ Strawberry-Starfruit? Triple Awesome Grape? Or was it just plain old Raspberry? I'm pretty sure you're closet Skywest, just too afraid to say who you work for.

At XJT that is unheard of. If my CP called for a sick call meeting the conversation would go something like "yeah....that's interesting, no thanks ::click::" and there's really not much they can do.
Ya that. Doesn't happen here, and at that time RG was the chief in Chicago and he was 100% behind the pilots. If you are sick call in and they say nothing. They are not allowed to transfer you to the mod or ask questions. I know pilots that have called in 30-40 times in a year and finally had the chief call to check on them and offer FMLA assistance.

Hey man, re read what I said. Hence the "personally". It means " I don't think you are a bad person, just acting foolish". You seem very wound up, quick to take offense, and you lash out instinctively. I know people like that. They live in my house, won't flush the toilet, and cost a fortune. What is your agenda? I offered a calm valid view point of some who has been at Skywest and moved on. You are a childish troll. Good bye

Own what you said, and people will respect that a hell of a lot more than trying to paint some PC version of your point. You sir, failed in that attempt.
There's nothing wrong with what he said. But if you look at your own post history you will see that nearly all your posts are troll posts. Kind of hard to dispute that you are in fact a troll.

Doesn't take long to figure out who those people are, and on the flip side see through the garbage people like yourself scrape up in here. You are a union drone that hates your opinions challenged, and reacts like a spoiled brat. Tuck this in your back pocket....

I don't give a rats anus about your personal opinion about me, so throwing the troll term around has zero impact on anything. Own your opinion, and quit being so thin skinned when you have your posts challenged. I am not here to make friends or make people feel all warm and fuzzy. If that bugs you, block me.

Hugs n kisses.
Are you sure you are not talking about yourself there buddy. Except change that to non-union drone who hates his opinions challenged and resorts to insults and inciting anger when he doesn't like what's being discussed. Just look at your post history, people can figure out who the troll is and who isn't.

You know what is hilarious, the fact that you gave birth to this entire thread. Now, sit back and evaluate who has an issue with their opinions being challenged.
Listen... mocking, insults, speaking down to people, and GIF's of a smiling George Zimmerman is troll behavior. None of that comes from me. I started this thread to have a discussion from union and non-union people about what they feel are the pros and cons of each position. You have not provided any opinions of merit or basis, just the above mentioned behavior.

No union. Never here. See how much it does for every other regional? Ever read their threads? All they do is b:!ch and complain about them. They don't do much at this level of the business.

And if we ever did get one, it would set a precedent to merge lists with XJT. Be careful what you wish for.

We have heard a lot on here about the pros of Union and cons of non-union. Anybody want to list some cons of Union and the pros of non-union.
