I'm not denying that you might sometimes have to fly it and grieve it no matter where you work but it doesn't seem as prevalent when there are possible repercussions.
Also the way it works here is this: SAPA meets with company and lists complaints. Company can say too bad that's how we are doing it. The policy manual is not legally binding. They can throw the entire thing in the trash if they choose.
I'm not even saying I want a union at Skywest. I'm simply saying things seem to be changing. Regardless of the company claiming that we are adequately staffed, we are not. And as they get more desperate, we may see them get more creative with their interpretation of policy.

I came from Colgan and the Piñacolaba MEC. The contract was definitely noteworthy, but at the end of the day, my paycheck was 80% incorrect and required extensive relays and extra work to get it corrected; the work rules were also disregarded and required extra vigilance.
Came to SkyWest and rarely had an incorrect paycheck or work-rule inconsistency; it was night-and-day.
Not against unions in any way, but that’s my experience.

In my time every chief pilot that was actually a good dude eventually couldn't put up the fight anymore and was weeded out.

Perhaps I wasn't clear, some of the good guys got hammered by some in mgt to the point of futility and just went back to the line. Also I shouldn't have said 'every' as a couple did made it through the BS to stick around or get promoted (RG).
