There comes a time when...

I did some organizing events a few weeks ago.

Y'all have a great pilot group with very level headed folks leading this.

Hey, Skywest, you really want to be the only airline without a union?

@Autothrust Blue

Can you offer us something besides mocking condescension?

Because while I'm sold, you might want to convince some of my coworkers.

(I voted no on the last pay deal, and will vote to certify ALPA should the occasion arise.)

I could, but that wouldn't be nearly as fun.

Naturally.

When are we going flying?

Naturally.

When are we going flying?

Whenever you stop flying up and down the wrong coast and come over this way! A job at the widget would take care of that.

I would think the fact that y'all are the ONLY non-unionized airline would be convincing enough...

Well lets not put the horse ahead of the cart yet. We have many guys who are 'no' and pretty vocal on the company forum. In fact some are so desperate they are saying that if you are leaving the company this year, don't vote and just abstain because they won't be here for "the pain." It's pretty sad, most of it are guys hired in '07 who are senior CAs, get everything they want schedule and vacation wise, never spent time on reserve, and at least one guy is complaining that the junior guys are about to give him a 2% paycut. I'm not even kidding. Some of these guys are concerned only about maximizing their paycheck for their remaining ~5 years.

It's pretty sad, if not pathetic.

The only condescension I feel is the fact that a majority of your coworkers feel they don't need to join the club.

Wow!!

You left out "...while continuing to enjoy many of the benefits such as KCM and pattern bargained wages."

Thank you for that correction.

"But they like us!"

And being a potential whipsaw for two represented carriers...

And being a potential whipsaw for two three represented carriers...

It certainly sucks ass being on our side of the saw.

It's not precisely sunshine and roses over here.
