To anyone thinking of voting yes, just remember I will cancel your vote with my NO. Thus I don't think you should bother voting.

UR Flying Me makes some excellent points.

SkyNation is hard to believe.

SkyNation blames ALPA for not doing better with the ASA contract when ALPA's weakness in the ASA negotiation is the direct result of the position SkyNation advocates.

What SkyNation fails to understand is that regardless of what happens on the ASA property, SkyWest will come back and ask you to fly it for less - or rather - tell you that you must fly it for less or you will lose airplanes, jobs and upgrades.

Yes, the pilots at SkyWest could lose airplanes if they do not match ASA. Also, ASA's contract will have provisions in it to protect their flying. The days of quick upgrades on aircraft transferred out of the ASA fleet are coming to an end anyway.

SkyWest is a great place to be. I'm at a major now and I still think SkyWest is a good airline to fly for. But without an enforceable contract you have no way to keep things good at SkyWest and no way to ensure good times in the future. If ASA comes out a penny cheaper (ironically as a result of SkyWest whipsaw) then your airplanes could well begin going the other direction until you undercut ASA.

Delta is not going to buy ASA back. SkyWest has them for the long term. It would be best for SkyWest pilots to work with your ASA brothers and together build your company. To lift something big - you need everyone lifting their corner.

I'm optimistic that pilots have a good ten year run ahead of them. Join in the success instead of detracting from it. Vote ALPA.

Then I'll use my big d#$chebag vote to cancel your t@rd sandwhich vote.

Skynation- an airline being relatively better than others doesn't mean stuff can't still be fixed.
