So who am I? Why don't you "out me", whoever I am? Obviously I am a danger to the profession and these boards. Certainly others deserve to know.

Most junior FO in PHX was hired on 4/28/2014.
SLC 8/23/2013
SFO 1/8/2015
Those other numbers are off by about 7 or 8 spots.

SLC has ZERO reserve FO lines next month. And most of the senior FO's in there are now upgrading. If SLC is your goal then go for it. Doubt it would take a year.. Maybe 6 months.. 3 of that in training.. So 3 months commuting..

If Skywest were to unionize I've no doubt the pilot contract negotiated would be an industry leading contract. We would be the best compensated regional in the industry and then be undercut by our regional brothers on every RFP that came out. So, while the bragging rights of having a great contract, which you currently have, would be a nice talking point, having flying awarded to the company you're working for is the ultimate goal. We are still getting flying awarded and ideally the best way to continue have that happen is by providing an excellent product at or slightly above the median price point. Currently, that is what Skywest Airlines does. Yes we have issues with our pilot contract. Yes the negotiating process is frustrating and slow. But for the most part the conditions here are good and at this point in time I think the THREAT of a union outweighs the benefits of a union. That WILL change just not sure when.
That's up there with some of the garbage spewed by CAL '83-'85 hires.
Define "lots", and is it using the OO code? Because if it's any other airline code then it's more risk to that airline, not Skywest. Either way, a majority of your operation is UAX, DL connection, and AA Eagle. Though Skywest bares some of the costs depending on the CPA, most things are paid for by airline you contract with.

So no-union in order to protect from low-ballers thus giving you the ability to play the ultimate low-ball card by not being a labor threat. Got it!

How many regionals who are unionized are cheaper? Here some facts for you since you seem unable to come up with any:
Crew cost as percentage of hourly (non-fuel) operating cost that companies that have reported.
ERJ140/145
Republic - 23.2%
ExpressJet - 43.5%
Eage - 44.1%
CRJ200
PSA - 22.5%
Mesa - 26.1%
AirWis - 27.3%
Skywest - 28.7%
Pinnacle - 33.8%
ExpressJet - 35.1%
CRJ700
PSA - 22.2%
GoJet - 24.9%
Mesa - 27.5%
Skywest - 27.8%
ExpressJet - 36.9%
Eagle - 44.0%
E170
Republic - 24.2%
Compass - 42.2%
CRJ900
Mesa - 29.5%
Skywest - 33.2%
ExpressJet - 35.7%
Pinnacle - 38.6%
Again, you're equating guys crossing a picket line with Skywest pilots. That's an ignorant comparison.
Why do labor groups unionize?
