It's becoming more and more clear where ASA's future is with Skywest. Seems it would be very wise to start strongly considering onelist. Without it, we may end up shrinking a la Comair....
 
How would you get a single list? The skyw guys voted the union down-remember?

Was there an announcement I missed?
 
no announcement, not boring, no flamebait....just applying rational thought. I am not a union or anti union guy.... seems we wont get any help from skywest guys to do this, just thinking if we dont ASA may go bye bye. Not today, we have that contract, but we all knwo they can bleed us and do just as the are doing to comair.
 
As important as it is for one list it won"t happen for many reasons. One the ASA MEC doesn't seem to care about it. They never make any comments about about. Even if they did I don"t know what they could do anyways. Two, not enough ASA pilots know the importance of it. Its amazing flying with some of these morons. Three, skywest pilots know they will be treated better staying nonunion, even at the expense of ASA pilots. Finally, the most important one, there is nothing the ASA pilot group can offer during negotiations that would make jerry or skywest management give it up.
 
Who would control a vote for one list? Does Skywest inc. want one list? And if they don't want one list then why not? I know why alpa wouldn't want it, $, but it would seem skywest inc could lower cost. During that last road show ASA director of maintenance said they were doing an audit on our maintenance program so it would be in line with skywest making it easier to transfer aircraft throughout the system, no one seemed surprised. I think upper level didn't like people flying "to safe" and they will be able to get around it next contract time.
 
Of course SkyWest, Inc. doesn't want one list. It robs them of the control they have currently. Mind you this control is bad for the pilots, but half of the company isn't smart enough to realize that.

You can only bargain for what the company is ultimately willing to give you. As long as SkyWest, Inc. is unwilling to entertain it, it probably won't happen.
 
One list- no way will it ever happen and I don't even have a degree from ERAU or the highly accredited FlightInfo Academy.
