Happy pilots?

Its appears about 2/3 of the pilots are happy with their successful company.
"Rather than dealing with unions and an organized workforce, SkyWest prefers what it calls the cornerstone of its success, an "open-door culture." In a November vote, SkyWest's pilots rejected for the third time an organizing attempt by the Air Line Pilots Assn. More than 900 of the 2,600 eligible voters cast ballots for ALPA but the remainder did not vote and the outcome fell far short of the required majority".

900 out of 2600 eligible voters...PATHETIC!!!!

I voted for ALPA, but just look at the Romney election results for the State of Ut, what 97% for Romney?

Its in the water

Yes, just like Forrest Gump. Everytime someone hands us a football we score a touchdown. Nice analogy.

Well, "Stupid" made a profit last quarter. I mean, if we really want to talk "stupid", we could talk about operating branded ops with RJs.

We are talking about the airline as a whole, here...not your opinion of one employee group.

Please don't tell me you took that seriously. Because if you did, I have to get better at sarcasm.

But thanks for those comments anyways.

I didn't so much take it seriously...just a classic example of drinking and posting. And that was a couple hours after I finished the vodka.

I really should consider put one of those breathalyzer things they put in people's cars onto my computer.

As long as our aircraft aren't floating all accidental-like on a breeze, I think we are all okay.

I'm guessing that means Delta is Lt/Capt. Dan, that we should have let die but saved and now they have no legs to stand on. Is this a correct assumption?
