maybe? MAYBE EVEN A YEAR?! try 3-6.
ASA's TA took them 5 years. This was from an experienced MEC. ours will be a rookie MEC, and if it happens count on them saying 'hey guys, give us a break. this was our first one, it'll get better with the next one,' and on and on and on.
For an explanation of the infamous 5 year ASA negotiations please read: http://www.skywestalpa.org/documents/WhitePapers__ASASec6Negotiations.pdf
ASA's TA will help SkyWest ALPA during our first negotiation. We can take their contract and adapt and improve it specifically for SkyWest. Plus we would have lots of help from ALPA national. I think 2 years would be a reasonable estimate for completion of our first contract.
haters! pile on now with how SAPA is worse, JA is the devil, you're just looking out for us in the industry, blah blah blah blah.
I guess every SkyWest thread for the next month or two will go down this same road. yipppee!
Sorry to disappoint, No hate, I just try to keep it pithy!!
Come on, You have to admit though SAPA, and some of the guys on it are pretty embarrassing and for the most part worthless. I do respect JA very much and I think he's a pretty good guy. I think SkyWest is just a little to big now for that to matter. I believe it's now time to look out for ourselves and become an equal partner with management in our careers and SkyWest's success.
