As a Skywest CA, I will not allow any United pilot on my Jumpseat. Your MEC really screwed up with this one.
Also if I hear any threat of career progression I will report you straight to your chief pilot. Ive urged and coached other CAs to make this same decision. Do NOT expect better treatment as all Skywest CAs will be following this decision. My ultimate question is: Why does your pilot group continue to look down on regional pilots? As I said earlier, I hope you all get used to using Greyhound and Amtrak.

I never said bulletproof. Heck even United’s flying isn’t bulletproof. Will we lose flying because I’m following my SAPAs recommendation to follow company FOM? No. No we won’t.

Shift the flying to who? Mesa? Air Cheeseconsin? Please, this is a pilots market. Flying can no longer be shifted around. Just because something didn’t go ALPAs way and will backfire doesn’t mean flying will be taken from us.

If he *is* an OO pilot, then all I can say is, I'm sorry folks. Every airline has its toolbags, who as we all know do not represent the vast majority of the pilot group.

Actually, that's almost verbatim what you said here:



If you think that SkyWest isn't going to get a lot of attention on Whacker Drive (that's where United's suits reside) due to this, I suggest you rethink that thought.
I'd be surprised if someone in the next few Captain charm school classes doesn't ask Oscar and Scott and Bryan and Bebe why we don't reduce our flying with SkyWest when they each come down for their hour with the new Captains.
SkyWest is likely in violation of multiple aspects of their contract with United and if this issue gets enough attention, management can find legal ways to reduce or terminate SkyWest's contract very quickly. And any flying would be easy to replace by next summer's busy flying season.

We all realize that. If this gets out of hand, one might want to consider a lateral move out of OO before every OO pilot gets looked at with a microscope. We had some problems with a few ExpressJet newhires a while back and now they're looked at a lot closer. One turd in the punchbowl tends to make all of the punch in the punchbowl toxic.

The answer is no. If you really think pilots have a say in contract agreements, you’ve been misinformed. You’re a number. Oscar will go home and forget who you are after he begins to sip his 25 year old single barrel bourbon. And don’t you forget that.
