I wish I could even remember to bid holidays like Memorial Day off.

The question was asked what good has a union done for it members in recent history? I simply answered the question and asked if Sky West offered the same. Why so defensive?

Because there are quite a few of you that come on to this thread and try to bring up the need for SkyWest to unionized. I like to bring to their attention that we have already had the opportunity and we've turned it down. Now the last vote was 8 years ago and nobody here cares enough to start a drive, the last guy that did went to Atlas. (thats how much hope he had)

I think we are the only company that hides the bids, and it's complete crap

Just curious. Were you senior enough to hold it off? Or was someone senior to you CN/PN'ed into a trip over Memorial Day and then when it got down to you, it didn't have anymore trips left so you got it off?
Or the better question is, how's that PBS bid transparency coming along? Will we have that or the reserve rewrite first?

We don't need a union at OO because for the most part management isn't out there to screw us over like management at Envoy, TSA, former Colgan, Comair, PSA and so forth succeed in doing so. Also, I don't want to pay my hard earned cash to a worthless (to regional pilots) organization like ALPA.

Yep, you could of gone home and got paid if you a contract. Depending on the trip that right there would of paid your union dues for a couple of years.
