Here I am starting a 30 hour 4 day.

Oh wait, sorry, 28:29 credit.
But the union cannot come and just hand the company with a checklist of requirements the company must make or else. It is always negotiations, we could get that and lose something else I would bet.

Vs now where we just take what they give us and no one says otherwise?

Yeah, it'd be very different

With the majority of grievances taking around a year plus from what I heard and little to nothing coming of it. I am still not interested in building a stand off platform with the company. We have access to a lot more information than those companies with unions, which lets us know if the company is toying with us.

But I don't believe I am being jacked with. I am paid for every minute I worked. I am paid for what and how they said. I'm happy.

For instance, Mesa's PBS software actually honors seniority. And the lines are published afterward to prove it. Here, the PBS software is like a video poker machine in Vegas: the house always wins. And don't get me started on our magical morphing reserve buffers, or everyone's personal favorite PPM interpretation, "that's how we've always done it".

Exactly.

If I want to "help out" by sitting reserve on a day off, and Cs answers with "actually we're good that day", that should now defacto be the new reserve minimum for the base.

LET PEOPLE DROP TRIPS.

open your eyes skywest would have no problem handing you over to the feds on a silver platter. Which they have done many times. Stop laying down and stand up for yourself the airline life and 4 day trips get old fast.

So what are you doing to 'stand up for yourself'? Union drive ? Filing CSCs? Running for SAPA rep?

Or are you just blathering on a forum?
