Read to the end of the ALPA flyer. Read "What is the solution?" This outlines the point of the entire pamphlet.
Reading comprehension is not strong and butt hurt seems to be high in the regional airline industry. This was not a swipe at Skywest by ANY stretch of the imagination!

ALPA should mind its own business.

What a surprise that alpa targets Skywest one of the few regionals they don't represent. Alpa is a complete and utter joke, look how they have represented every regional that has hit hard timers...comair, envoy.... When the new TA passes (which it will) first year pay will be above average for the industry. Skywest still filling classes, three ERJ classes next
Month..,,wonder why that is?!
This based on first year pay, second year pay more than makes up for it, above average for sure. This also doesn't factor in work rules such as cancellation pay which some of the regionals on that list don't have. Their calculation is also off.

And you honestly think that Mesa, endeavor, envoy, or xjt pilots would do better without a union dealing with their respective ceo's?! This wasn't a target at Skywest or anyone other regional. To be fair, I don't believe they were completely honest with these numbers. For example, these numbers were calculated purely by multiplying first pay rate by minimum monthly guarantee. There are other forms of compensation that can be just as easily calculated to the penny. For example, xjt ERJ pilots get a 2.5% company contribution as well. That form of deferred compensation is not included in those numbers when they easily could've without diluting the main point of the article.

You missed his point though and don't have anything else to say when he corrected you. No, management can't just do what they want, unless you are non-union (and even if you are, it takes time to fight their intransigence). But this isn't just about management, which is the other point you missed. The regionals have their association that is out there doing the same. This is the unions using the same strategy.
