They will be "cheaper" because they are efficient in many different areas. Crew compensation is not one of them. SW is not the best paid, but among the best paid...

We have to keep reminding guys like you, over and over again, you will never get SkyW pilots to join a union like this. Your tone (and others in this thread) have made it seem like I am inflating the benifits of SkyW. I am not. But you suggesting an inflated importance of your union.
In general, union workers get higher pay, better benifits, and have a better chance at a defined pension, among other benifits. Agreed. But MESA, GoJets, Republic, and many others are unionized and their benifits are not near those at SkyW.
Until you can convince most of the guys at SkyW who came from TSA, Mesa, etc etc who have a bad taste in their mouth about a union, and most of the SLC base, about how a union will benifit them.. you will be blowing in the wind.
Grow up a little, and come up with some ideas about how you get people to believe an enforcable contract will get them more pay and better benifits. Until then, have your union send some of their 'generosity' to the other union shops because they seem to need it more than SkyW.
