to escape. You will be at a major ASAP! Wait till Klen decides it makes more sense to make the reserve staffing 50%.
Enjoy it.....

I don't think so. I would say 85%-90% of SkyWest pilots don't care about what is happening at the airline, or at the very least, throw their hands up and shrug. They read the SAPA forums, complain about how bad life is getting and then go home and hide from everything until the next trip. The vocal few on the forums stomp their feet, get worked up on the forums about bringing back the thumbs up/down feature while in the meantime, everything continues to play out as the company plans. No change any time soon. They've gotten used to life as "it has always been done that way" mode.

It's funny - I remember staying at the Radisson (I was flying corporate back then), and wandered into Lofte's for a drink. ALPA was at Lofte's, and I scored a copy of Flying the Line that night. I told them I wasn't with Skywest, but they didn't seem to care. Still have Volumes 1 and 2 on a shelf in the study.

Maybe, but non-votes are no longer counted as voting no. Only those who vote are counted.

That's sort of how the last pay vote went. It was a pay freeze and on the forums everyone was vocally against it. The vote showed that the actual majority of the company threw up their arms, said "whatever" and passed it though. The unofficial SAPA forum poll was about 75% No yet is passed easily.
