Skywest No-Voters

[buscap]

For those of you who voted no, wether it be an actual vote or failing to pick up the phone, I would say you have all shown yourselves to be extremely shortsighted.

You said no to the very form of representation which is directly responsible for every single benefit of your chosen profession. Weakening that organization will only come back to haunt us all, wether we stay at the regional level or choose to move up to the majors.

I wonder just how many of you NO-VOTERS will say no, when it comes time to join the union at your major airline job?

Or better yet, at the job interview, will you man-up and make it clear to the pilots doing the interviewing that you voted no for a union at Skywest?

Or will you suddenly become a card carrying AFL-CIO left wing supporter of the labor movement and tell the interviewer how you were one of those who voted yes and you are leaving Skywest because ALPA didn't get on the property!!!

Somehow I think we all know the answers to these questions. I'll let you come up with your own self describing terms for your actions, as mine are not fit for print.

(This is a repost, but I realized it was off topic and quite good if I do say, so here it is again as a standalone thread. )

But they had to keep the upgrade under a year. That must be the definition of a successful airline over in Utah.

Maybe you should save those dues and buy a book or two. Your English skills could use a bit if work. "Do you think that Hoffa was Kill?" WTF? You write like a retarded third-grader!

So a vote against ALPA is a vote against all unions? Interesting logic.

Bobby,

Unionism, more specifically ALPA-ism is religion to a lot of these regional pilots. Trying to get them to see the logic of anything else is a stretch in my opinion. All we know from these threads is that they know "better" than us. Even though they're not here. I voted yes, but I completely support those who chose to wait for what they believe is a better union situation. This is after all, a democratic capitalist society. I agree with your statement Bobby.

Additionally, while I'm open about how I voted, that is no one else's business. If it was brought up in an interview, I think that would be extremely unprofessional. To use the religion analogy again: Is it professional to ask someone's religious beliefs in an interview, and then base the decision on the answer? Same thing.

Caspian,

you're speaking with so much sense, intelligence and insight! probably going to be lost on this crowd.

good post

..... actually it's more like a cult than a religion.....

 

[LAMESAUCE]

UAL Pilot: "So, what did you vote the other month? Was it for ALPA or not?"
SKW Pilot: "Well, I voted for the union that got you your concessions back. And your pension. And the one that made you a dick."

Oooh......
