Where did you come up with that nonsense? Skywest has a contract in place till 2020 and I don't think requiring a pilot group to be ALPA would be legal.
It's not nonsense, it's fact. It was deliberated about. Lee Moak has figured out that it is in the best interest of his pilot group if we collaborate and work as a team in raising the bar. ASA, Delta, and a multitude of other DCI carriers have been working on this for quite some time. Where was SkyWest's representatives while this was going on??? I don't seem to recall their presence.......... It wasn't nonsense, it's fact. Whether or not it goes into effect, I'm not certain, but it has been a real issue on the table.
And finally, as stated numerous times above, we are currently being held as a sellable asset. If skywest sells us, I believe we will lose the greatest opportunity that ASA has had in recent history.
You know a little about PBS...... Well I guess we'll all have to take your word for it then. That is a convincing statement. Thanks for backing it up by answering my questions.
We can not be FORCED to take PBS. Your OPINION is that we will have it.
Your OPINION is that being sold would be bad for us. Only time will tell, but for now we are safe, because no one is in a position to buy us.
Maintaining our QOL "directly results" them coming back? Our QOL has zero to do with furloughees coming back. Staffing is all about block hours. We serve one customer right now...DELTA. They already have too many regional carriers, so there are too many mouths at the table, not to mention the RECESSION. Skywest serves multiple carriers, and is holding their staffing at an inflated level because Jerry is expecting some additional opportunities to open up for them. Faulty premise for your arguement, AGAIN.
"Our PBS system will be much better that we should not want one list"? You struggle with comprehensive reading sir. My posting indicated that we would have more control over our system than they would, because we were able to control its implementation IF we take it.
As far as one list with mainline and Comair, I was not here then, but if I remember correctly it was proposed and shot down. My point was the unforseen benefit of being excluded from one list during this most recent bankruptcy as opposed to what our fate would have been had we still been owned by delta, or had one list. Not apples to oranges, cause and effect.
I have no problem with anyone questioning ALPA. You are not questioning ALPA. You are taking potshots from dark corners. Like I said before, go ask your reps these questions. Do you think they are going to answer them on here? Do you really want an answer, or do you want to fatasize over a pipe dream.
"I would be willing to give up ALPA to gain the security that I believe will come with being part of SKYW".....lmmfao...then quit. What keeps you here? the money? the work rules? An ATL base? You could have all of that over there. There is a difference between questioning the union, and wanting to throw it off property for personal gain.
You sir, have no facts to back up your statements. You are unwilling to go get the answers you seek from those who have them. You are willing to throw a union off property because you think you will fare better by giving into what Skywest management wants you to do, AND YOU THINK THAT THEY WILL GIVE YOU THE SAME BENEFITS THAT ALPA HAD TO FIGHT THEM FOR????? And I'm the ignorant one?
I pity you. You are a CLOSET SCAB who doesn't have the courage to follow his heart. Do they really let you fly airplanes?
No brother of mine would vote to sell the rest of us out. Just calling a spade a spade.
