SAPA president election

[FlySacto]

SkyWest pilots have yet another vote to ponder or ignore. Any thoughts?

 

[embdrvr]

Mark N and Bill S are the only choices.
I like Mark but have heard a lot of good things about Bill. Still deciding which of the two is best.

The rest?
DA - Fuhgeddabout it. Back to the line for wearing kneepads in SGU approving concessions and promoting a sub-par pay deal.

JB - A little too willing to accomodate the wishes of management

BD - Way too much personal info in his bio. Would do a better job than current pres or vp

Can you really see MN going face to face with BH?

One of the other reps ripped on him at a meeting about his wussy remarks and back stabbing the executive board but being too afraid to say it to their faces. He had his chance to repeat what he said about them on the SAPA forum but was now trying to back peddle his way out.

BH would shred him too pieces.

The only reason people like him is because he slams the executive board on the forums, but get in his face and he just says "that's not really what I meant".

I have lost all faith in SAPA. Sorry......

Marine,

you interviewed here in Sept, right? and you've already 'lost' all faith? bash SAPA all you want, but for a guy who has worked for a whopping, what, 6 months (?), you sure seem to have lots of axes to grind already with this place that I'm sure you claimed you 'really wanted to work at' during your interview. and just a few months ago, you wrote:

Most of the new hires in my class are pretty anti-ALPA. Especially those who came from ALPA carriers (ASA, AirWIS, PCL, Mesaba, etc...).

Thanks for the burgers at the Candlewood, but I will vote NO.

let me guess, you're just trying to make it a better place now?

PS-I voted for BS

What about that POS that was SAPA pres and then soon a very "popular" systemwide chief pilot? Can't you see why faith would be lost in this system? SAPA is a mngmt tool, and always will be until solid representation is in place. Your loyalties seem to be with the company, why wouldn't a pilot who is being paid over 100hrs guarantee to represent the pilot group feel the same? SkyNation, get your head out of the sand.....

you didn't read my post. this dude just started here like 6 months ago. how can he be 'fed up' already? bash SAPA all you want, I said.

my loyalties are with the company, because I work for the company, as do all employees. it is not us against them. that is a position of another organization.

SkyNation.

On a different note, sorry for the thread hijack, did you see the Unionfacts add in the USA today yesterday? They have been putting out these FULL PAGE ads pretty regularly, must be pretty expensive, it makes one wonder why they care so much and are willing to spend so much money on us lowly workers.

Who do you think pays for that kind of influence? Labor or Management?

Yesterdays add showed a quote at the to of the page "Male, Pale, and Stale..." by the president of the SEIU I believe. Below was the photographs of about 60 Union leaders...showing the lack of diversity. Below that was a few comment on diversity and discrimination.

I cant believe how stupid that add was, I could do the same add but show pictures of CEO and Executive management WITH THE SAME QUOTE!
I dont see a whole lot of diversity the upper corporate management level.

What did you think of that ad, what do you think the purpose of it was?


Back to the thread...sorry again...the current president only has 2 votes out of about 200 who particpated in an informal poll! I guess they let him vote twice!

Why not just elect Jerry Atkin? Or Mickey Mouse for that matter? SAPA has no authority anyway. Jerry makes the rules and SKYW lives by them. Good luck in the election....i guess.
