Another Skywest ALPA Drive

With respect, have you been in direct contact with ALPA folks? This isn't correct.

Eh, I haven't personally, but it was better than second hand info.


Surprising quote coming from the likes of yourself, I thought you stayed out of such mud slinging. This kind of attitude is not helpful in the least.

I didn't mean it that way. I meant that several other properties out there have a higher likelihood of organizing so it would make sense to focus on the higher percentage place instead of Skywest, which arguably would be a gamble again. Not a slight at Skywest at all.
 
Very well, no harm done.

We cannot disclose a whole lot yet, but good things are happening. I think we will pleasantly surprise ALPA with our OC numbers when the time comes :)

This is why it is nice to have a reputation such as Ethan. Remember, if there are two ways to take something, good or bad, take it the good way until they prove you wrong.
When I read this post, I figured it had to do with other irons in the fire, and not that our group was not worth the time. B21 I am not taking a shot at you, merely using this as a teaching moment in communications...;)

Yeah the good ol' interwebs got me again ;) No worries, that is why I wasn't convinced he wasn't part of the Axis of Evil just yet :)

I understand your point. While I do agree, my standpoint is, up to this point, they have not whipsawed our two groups. And keep in mind, we've been together now for about 3 years. I know you're thinking that it doesn't mean they won't do it in the future, and I agree.

Two points I'll make,

One being when ASA negotiated their new contract, there were a few issues that they won that brought them up to SKYW level, which goes contrary to the whipsaw theory.

Also, why couldn't the two groups negotiate as one, without merging?

I'd really like to see the pilot groups negotiate together as one, however, you realize that Inc already is using the Skywest pilot group to whipsaw the ASA pilot group?

I wouldn't go that far. It's true that this isn't exactly on the top of heap right now, but that's mainly because the SkyWest pilots haven't put together a big Organizing Committee and demonstrated a functioning structure yet. Once that's done, it may change. We have other organizing drives that are in far more advanced stages, including results on a vote this Thursday, so those are on the front burner.
