And while there may be some (or a lot) of ball twisting done by the company with Sapa, this is something I actually believe when I hear them say "what can we do"

We hold the keys to their precious reliability numbers. The company starts to pull some bs, the pilots choose a day in that week and zero flights go out on time and zero come in on time. They will come to the table real quick.
Delay code you ask? SGU

You know that's illegal right?

ALPA is far from perfect and individual airlines depend on strong support to be effective, but i would rather have them than not.
I wish Skywest pilots good luck in their current struggles, but the writing has been on the wall for years and the majority chose to go it alone.

Most of these things would have been prevented had they voted in a union years ago. But no, most pilots were concerned with the less than 2% dues they would have to pay. Hows that working out for you now?
