ALPA President and Delta Connection ASA Pilots to Picket SkyWest Headquarters

[Morning Wood]

It's kinda funny that they're picketing in St. George...nobody'll see them except the local population...the place isn't even on a main road where people driving by will see them......

River Road is one of the main roads thru town. Have you ever been to SGU?

alpa....your 2% at work!!!! It's ok i'm with alpa....i'm here to help? THEBEST

 

[SSDD]

There is no "media" in SGU! Unless ALPA is bringing the reporters with them there is one local newspaper, and it is pretty pro-Skywest. If they give any coverage at all, it will probably be negative.

BTW one of the reasons that Skywest has been so successful is that in SGU, working for Skywest IS a good job, so don't expect any sympathy there.

Most people over there are rabid company supporters...so stay off the driveways!!

Your absolutely right..unless the Salt Lake Tribune gets there filthy hands on it..they can be pretty nasty towards Skywest at times...

Well, I never received ANY notification of such an event, but all I think it would do is derail the ALPA drive at Skywest. Good job ALPA

Are they buying tickets or driving? It's almost impossible to jumpseat/non-rev there unless you're pretty senior at skywest

But relatively easy to drive from Vegas or so I've been told.
No need to have a bunch of press there. I'm sure photos can be taken and emailed to the various media outlets.

ASA in negotiations with Delta how many years and got NOTHING! SKywest owns ASA about 1 year and they're all goin' to St. George to picket? WHY? alpa really thinks this will help?!?! My god, you get what you pay for!!! THEBEST


GO alpa?

 

[embdrvr]

SKYW pilots been working how long since their 18 month TA expired?
Do you think they'd be back at the table if it wasn't for the threat of a union.
