Your union created UALPA vs the Regionals over a decade ago. And unfortunately, regional pilots need to look after ourselves or we will continue to get kicked in the nuts.
UALPA does NOT care about regional airline pilots. And that’s a fact you cannot deny.

Let me ask you this: do you know anyone on the hiring board at United? I want you to ask them if they will blacklist every Skywest pilot. You know what the answer will be? No. Why? Because that is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

I don't know anyone in the hiring process but I have seen how ExpressJet pilots are now watched much closer.

Now, your concern should be what if United cuts SkyWest's contract, causing furloughs, and shifts the flying to another regional? But you don't see that as a possibility because you're not able to figure out how it would be implemented.
That whole pilot shortage thing at the regional level is solved by SkyWest furloughees looking for a job with another carrier that got a bunch of former OO flying.

Does UALPA care about Skywest? Would UALPA fight and advocate for the Skywest pilot group?

Food is decent and the seats are spacious.

Exactly. Why should I care if a UA pilot makes it home to Milwaukee?

I live in base. And I truly believe commuting is a choice. It drastically reduces quality of life. So yes, my quality of life is pretty good.
