Look at Delta and Alaska, they vote yes for every TA put in front of them.

SkyWest is a descent company. There's always room for improvement, just like your pilot skills, I imagine. Ideally, we all would fly for a major and every time I buy a lottery ticket I would win millions as well. Not going to happen.
Good luck on your future (ad)ventures.

Sorry you failed so bad at trying to dig yourself out of the hole you dug for yourself. I actually feel kind of guilty letting you continue to hang yourself.

Granted it wouldnt be that bad if I was gonna be getting paid 30$ an hour but thats gone so.

Those are the ones you should be whining about, not the other regional carriers doing what they can to keep flying. Good thing unions have made things fair for ALL pilots, right?
As we know, ALPA is not really a union. It's an association of separate pilot unions. Each MEC decides what they think is best for their pilots only. They or any other entity or person regardless of position cannot compel any other MEC what to do. ALPA has certainly made things better for all pilots. Many places would be worse off without a union. Just imagine any current unionized regional without a union and things would be worse for all of those pilots. Anyway, if your CEO can enjoy the benefits of an employment contract, why shouldn't the employees?

All I'm saying is SkyWest isn't perfect, but it's a good place to be if you have to be at a regional. It's not $121/hour in 20 years, but Horizon doesn't pay that any longer either.
I don't know Mercyful Fate. I figured (s)he is a crew scheduler.
