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?

What the hell does his past history of failed check rides have to do with the fact that YOU guys blew away multiple attempts at unionizing - the result of which is that you now have basically ZERO power to mitigate any decisions your management teams decide upon?

Have you hear of a non sequitur?

What he said was absolutely spot on. He just simply doesn't buy into the Unicorns and Rainbows your pilot group have been dreaming of for the past ten years. You guys are now sleeping in the bed you made, and he's smart enough to see that.

Period.

Of the 3500 pilots on the list 2500 of them have been there less than 10 years. Nearly 40% haven't had a chance to vote in any union drive. Cruz has been there less than a year so clearly if the writing was on the wall he wasn't smart enough to have seen it a year ago or he would have stayed away right?

There's a pretty high turnover rate currently. The people lying in the bed aren't the ones who made it for the most part.

When they are done with SKYW and the regionals, you will be next. We tried and failed, but at least we tried. And anyone who has been at the regionals knows Unicorns and Rainbows are for major pilots, we get mystery meat burritos and Skittles.

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.
^Agreed...

It is becoming more clear every day that SkyWest pilots are disgusting people that think that they are superior to everyone else, but are really just scabs. They take union jobs and put up with crap everyday because they love the taste of the crap flavored kool-aid that the management keeps serving them.

You deserve to get screwed over by management again and again.

I wish the people that do the hiring at the majors would realize this and prevent any non-union pilot from moving to a major.
