Got yours, right? Now time to make sure the rj pukes remember they're pukes by pulling up the ladder. Spoken like a real pilot. You guys will fit right in at the majors. Can't wait till your 60 so you can sell the jr guys down the river just like your pop's did? Brilliant!

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
Great idea! Why don't you do that next Wednesday.

Nope....not pulling up the ladder, just don't want to waste more money on a group who has repeatadly said they don't want a union. If you want a union figure out how to do it yourself. If you are a capt, you were probably there for the last ALPA drive. Did you vote yes or no?

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

That's all fine, but there are probably 1500 pilots at SkyWest that were not here for those drives.

Lol you've got to be the biggest hypocrite around. No one forgets the way you acted back when you were at Silver, trying to get hired on with multiple check ride failures, then Horizon, and now here. You've been in this industry a grand total of what, 3 years? Step off your high horse. You're no better than any of them.

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.
