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".
 
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.
 
Would that make ASA=Jenny? Well we're just like peas and carrots under the Inc...:laugh:

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?
 
Re: Skywest=Forrest Gump

The 50-seat CRJ200 is criticized by some as operationally expensive and on its way to retirement, but it continues to be useful serving medium-size markets...the regional carrier produces profits even when other airlines fall flat.

Do you realize how many regional-hating-armchair-airline-economists on here just had a brain aneurism when they read that?

When the price of oil is so high that only the mega rich are flying, matching capacity to demand will continue to be an economic imperative and being a captain at an independant company that operates 30 to 90 seat aircraft may be an OK position in the skeem of things.

Does that make ASA the sexually abused heroine addicted crack-whore with AIDS?

Hey, she was clean every once in a while. She just had issues.

Whatever it is is it must work, three times in a row overwhelming majority rejected a union, including a incuding a 32% pro-union vote in the last try.

Is there a second.............................?

That is fine... but can you quantify it?

I know management can..... they have successfully done it three times as you've just stated...

But I am asking the pilots.....

What is the "open door culture" at OO?
 
gheyest?
