Pilot unions band together to fight contract concessions at regional airlines

[XPOO]

Just so it's clear, it's coat tail riding either way because he can't do anything about any piece of paper he puts his signature on.

Awesome. But that paper would be even more worthless without the largest regional pilot group representative's name on it, no?

Whether his name is there or not, means nothing. When there is no certified bargaining process to back it up it's not binding, and therefore doesn't have the leverage to make a difference. So either way, the organized groups will make gains and the Skyw pilots will benefit without sacrifices (or spine) of their own, ergo, coat-tailing.

That paper is worthless without mainline pilot unions backing it up. But we were talking about coat tail riding, not the worth of the paper the coat tail rider signed.

Unions, religions, all supremacist cults. Since I'm nondenominational and live in Utah, I must be riding the coattails of Mormons. There was a period called The Dark Ages, you should read up on it.

Really, using religion to deflect from the topic at hand? Intelligent.

I live in Utah, a state founded by Mormons. I'm sure most everything in this state was done mostly through the church and its dues paying members. I live here, enjoy all the hard work they did and continue to do, and I don't pay tithing to the church. So this makes me a coattail rider, correct?

I guess this logic only fits when its your shoe on your foot.

I'll bite again.

Yes, if that is truly the case, then you are a coat tail rider. That term applies everywhere.

The US Postal Service should also be ashamed of riding the coattails of all those dues paying members of FedEx and UPS. Right?

Like I said, if YOU believe that, then the definition would apply to you. Do you not understand that concept? The definition of coat tail rider is universal. Some people are and some there aren't.

For you, it only applies to SkyWest. I get it.

Why are y'all arguing/entertaining a lowly dispatcher?

 

[LearLove]

No doubt it is a Mexican standoff behind the scenes. PSA already fired their shot.

I seem to recall about the 2002/2003 timeframe when the MECs of all 3 AAA wholly owned carriers "agreed" to work together WRT negotiations on RJs. Ask some old time PSA guys about that.

No, coat tail rider term applies to a lot of people. Skywest pilots are a very small group that it applies to. And many of them actually want to help the profession by pulling their own weight.

Why are you so defensive about pilots?
