You can certainly have the union lobby (happens almost everyday that congress is in session) for this. Or you can try to negotiate it with management. Either way, its easier (if not the only way) with a union at all properties.
or you could sign a petition.

Yes you can. But unfortunately that's not the way you win this stupid rigged game. You need to pay to play. Congressman will not listen, let alone support you, without making campaign contributions with your PAC.

Right now we are hiring everything we can.

But in training you get to bunk with another guy, even Mesa doesn't make you do that.

Envoys vote pretty much assures there will be no growth to hope for an ungrade less than 7 years.

We just fired the 30 year employee doing the hiring.

And management walked away from pay negotiations with no return plans except for concession talks.



GO ANY WHERE ELSE!

Hey how about you quit, climb under a rock and make yourself disappear. Let me move up the list.

TO THOSE LOOKING AT SKYWEST:
So far I really like SkyWest, after 2.5 months on reserve I am holding a line, I live where I want, I work with a lot of fun and very knowledgeable people and I look forward to my future with SkyWest and beyond. We are expanding, and we may not keep getting pay increases because of way too many regionals signing concessionary contracts, but I believe we will stay towards the top of the regional list to work at.
