ALPA Could drive Skywest stock DOWN.

[BrickTop]

Take a look at two stable and successful regional airlines. Skywest and Republic Air. Both high quality products for their division and both moderately cost effective operators. However looking back on a 10 year line Skywest Airlines stock has continually averaged 2-7 dollars a share higher. Good evidence and reports suggest Unions instill fear in investors and the market price for a company's stock who is under a CBA will trail those under freedom. If the pilot group is unable to convince you unions are or are not desired in the industry most certainly the stock market speaks for itself. Just some thought for those of us at Skywest and other carriers about to vote/not vote.

Skynation's brother?????

You must be skynation's brother. You two seem to hail from the same toolshed.

You are freaking crazy if you think unionized regionals don't do well. Here are two that have made many millionaires: ASA and Comair. Yeah, back before they were bought by DAL, these two made many investors very wealthy. ASA never has good operational performance, but we have always made a lot of cash. There are plenty of other examples, but I just thought I would throw out two everyone is familiar with. Anyone who invested back in the day in these guys made a huge return! Both have been unionized forever.

Money talks, toolbag, you show me a business that makes 12 to 14 percent profit, and I will show you a wall street dreamboat.

-Just another fat, lazy, ARROGANT pilot's opinion.
(from a pilot who actually knows how to spell "arrogant.")

Worst reason to not vote for a union. EVER.

Man, those greedy Netjets pilots over on the fractional board represented by IBT 1108 just got a new LOA to vote on that would pay a first year Citation FO over $68,000 and provide 100+ "gateways" for basing. In the last 12 months, Berkshire Hathaway's A stock has ranged from $95,700 per share to today's close of $119,290.

I hear Mr. Buffet is days away of sending BRK into Ch. 13 solely because of those greedy pilots....

Hey thanks!...we'll see if Woodson can keep it going against the Ole Ball Coach tomorrow night. UK has never beat Spurrier, and we'd love nothing more than to put a BEATDOWN on him like he put on us so many times when he was at UF.

Worrying about the stock price is the stupidest reason ever to shoot down a union. Only someone in management or not a pilot would even think like that. Which one are you, Brick Top?

 

[gator_hater]

there are a he!! of a lot more factors that go into stock price than union or not. the easiest to explain is # of outstanding shares. You should try to stir the pot with something that can at least be spun in your favor.

The ALPA OC told me the union would increase stock $5-$10!

 

[Mike man]

Republic has only been a publicly traded company for about 3 years now.

How exactly did you look back and see that SkyWest stock was $2-$7 higher over 10 years?

In fact starting in mid 2006 RJET passed SKYW and has stayed there since. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=RJET&t=2y&l=on&z=m&q=l&c=skyw

So what exactly was your point again?
