Why not since then?
I spent a lot of time back then talking to pilots in SLC. My MEC Chairman and I, invited to visit the crew room by a SkyWest pilot, were asked to leave by a management stooge because "St. George was watching, and didn't like us being there."
How did you help that organizing drive?
It's a unique culture. It reminds me of another "culture" typically associated with Utah.

On probation & commuting to reserve, and doing a lot of OCONUS military duty. While I voted yes, I do not have a religious affinity for alpa so what little time off I had I spent with my family. No regrets there.
Trying to guilt-trip people about support/participation/dues is counter-productive

Yeah, the 65% of the 2500 pilots you had back then that didn't vote.
. There is probably only a small percentage of pilots on the seniority list now above the 11/07 date that voted yes at this point. But nothing stops current pilots from organizing.

Don't mislead people (why am I surprised)... in 2007 a ballot not cast was a no vote. That rule had since changed but back then most non voters were intentional no voters.

That's EXACTLY why I specifically said pilots that didn't vote. Not voting was the same as a NO vote. How many of the 65% of pilots in 2007 that didn't vote still remain? My guess, not that many. And that was my point. Sorry you misunderstood (not surprised).

I disagree. Saying that they don't do jack for the regionals is being very short sighted and naive. Alpa national does a lot for the industry in general and the regionals also benefit from that. NAI is a huge example of something that's done at the national level. And Skywest like many other regionals benefit from that. You all just feel you should get it for free
