And didn’t OO management say that if the previous contract was not accepted they would not be in a competitive position to get anymore flying? Yet, there it is. Another lie.

What this whole ordeal has to do with ALPA at SkyWest is beyond me. Being awarded this contract is likely due to our west coast presence (IMO that's where these birds are going) and our ability to get the airplanes out of Brazil the fastest. I'm not sure how many, if any, slots Envoy still has, but I know OO has 100 orders with 100 options that have been hung on to.

It's a legit point. Normally furloughs are far less than 50% of the pilot group (although we might be about to press-to-test on that paradigm too).
So normally there's no majority appetite to take pay cuts all the way up and down the list to keep the bottom 20% employed.
Harsh reality, it's not socialism.

Goes without saying, hoping beyond all hope we don’t press to test on this one.

On another note, the regionals need their own representation not associated with mainline (No ALPA, etc). Otherwise Regionals will always get the “short” end of the stick and won’t have a true seat at the table. ALPA has its benefits for sure. However, regionals will always be second class citizens in the ALPA world.
