There are a lot of good guys here. And not all of us are ruled by fear. But who needs you guys anyway. You wouldn't have been there anyway when the times got tough. We will fix this place without your delicate sensibilities.

Well this is a crude comparison but as long as we are contractors, I wouldn't advise regionals to unionize like I wouldn't advise out sourced china labor unionize. There is plenty of cheaper labor in similar countries nearby. But if it comes to it, mutual destruction will be welcomed.

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

I would love it if skywest went Union, I just don't want to foot the bill.

Personally I think some people at SkyWest need to take a look around the regional industry and realize we have it pretty good...we have cancellation pay, MDG and a whole lot of stuff that other regionals don't have. Is this place perfect? No. Is the reflow policy that they seem to want to band aid pilot shortage with a total piece of s$#!? Yes. But talking to all my friends I believe this is still one of the better regionals.
On another note, mainline pilots trolling regional forums is kind of sad.

Pretty sure a union drive would fail, people are aware of how that has worked out at other regionals. If there was a regional only union I believe people would jump on board.

You do realize that the idea of a "union" is unity, right?
