Very true, and I chalk this lack of solidarity due to the fact that we are such a large airline dispersed over a large geographic expanse; each domicile's pilot group is virtually an airline unto itself. A pilot based in Atlanta hails from a different background and mindset than a pilot located in Fresno who has flown for SkyWest for possibly thirty years, while the former might only have worked here barely three months. This situation is immensely favoring management since it makes it harder for us to relate to one another or even to establish regular communications with ease.
I think that someone said it best already, the most opportune time for us setting up a union has long sailed into the sunset.
