Incredible a mainline airline can have multiple contractors and play them off each other. Then a contractor can own more than one certificate and play each pilot group off each other. Then within one certificate they can play the pilots each other.
Skywest pilots have for years ignored what a union does and a CBA. They ride on the coattails of others and created a bottom bidding regional industry. They also act like they saved the XJT pilots. All they accomplished was hurt on the XJT pilot group and themselves. I don't feel sorry for them if they get the short end of the stick if management gives out bonuses to new hires.

404yxl is just a troll. He is trolling on several threads right now to get people worked up. Pathetic.

My guess is he is a freshman or sophomore in some aviation program somewhere and has no life outside of these forums, and no idea how the industry works. He just spouts garbage that he reads on here.

And here I thought I was the only one who acknowledged this fact.

Troll or not, can you factually dispute his post?

Compass, TSA, Republic: Union (owned by Tran States Holdings)
Piedmont, PSA, Envoy: Union ( owned by AAG)
ASA / Expressjet: Union

Union does not matter at the regional level. Move along little doggy.

I can't think of any regionals, union or not, who's coattails are worth riding on.

None. They are all different levels of crappy.

He can't dispute it, so he basically has reverted to calling me a troll. Whatever, I have a good grasp on this industry and will call it as I see it.
