Yup attitudes are changing fast. One more bad pay proposal and it might just do the trick and launch the drive

From reading these airline forums, airline pilots are like women hospital employees. Nothing but drama and competing who has the sexier body or in the airline case who’s airline is better......omg where is your hat? Omg you don’t dress professionally. Omg unions and the list goes on.

And pilots have lot’s of choices these days. Most regional carriers pay more than Skywest. Some have career progression.

If you choose to work for Skywest, then you choose to work for a union busting company. No jumpseat from me and you will have a tougher time moving on to an ALPA mainline.

How about the ASA/XJT Pilots? They are being left behind. Tell him to contact me and we can talk.

I don’t care what they think. I’m an ASA pilot who is now asking for a union card before you ride my jumpseat.

Cmon guys no one wins in a jumpseat battle. I don't see this thread contributing much to the general discourse so I am shutting it down. If you want to discuss these issues please keep it civil.
