If I dispatch ballot for you, Will you promise "40 planes and a gate"?

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

 

[embdrvr]

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.

Why not picket and how would it not help?

 

[COOPERVANE]

HOW?

You dont think ASA ALPA has communication lines with it's pilots?

 

[BankAccount=0$]

Just like the government stopped Northwest from busting up the mechanics union?

Just for the sake of clarity, the Gov. had no place to stop the NW MX union from being busted. Quite the contrary the NW MX union is not busted but alive and well. If an employee group decides to strike (ie. use the last bargaining tool they have, self help) they have decided to give up their jobs in an effort to force the company into an agreement. NW didn't bust any union, they just replaced striking workers. I'm not saying it is right to replace striking workers, but it is completly legal for them to do so.

For those that didn't know about the picketing, it was on our MEC atis deal. Personally, I think it is a waste of time. Picketting is a useless demonstration when management already knows how irritated and distgusted you are with the contract situation. I feel pretty confident that they know we're upset. I'd preffer to wish in one hand and s*#t in the other- at least I will save the hassle of nonreving and the results are the same.........

 

[rightseatjocky]

I got called for a skywest interview... hmm i'll go fly the 90 for 50 seat rates...... NOTTTTTTTTTTTT

 

[SSDD]

So why did you apply?????????????????

 

[strega7]

Skywest doesn't have any 90 seat airplanes. I think 76 is the max.

Why not picket and how would it not help?

Why did they come up with the idea to picket at this time? Why didn't they picket in Atlanta when their arses were with Delta? ASA is an ACQUIRED airline, therefore they should be thankful that they are still employed. They haven't taken paycuts or furloughs and that their life style hasn't degenerated in the time Skywest has owned them! Degeneration is what happened to the life styles at United, Delta, etc.......

Ya and ASA's pay negotiations are going well? Open your eyes and look what alpa is REALLY doing for you.....picketing in SGU like a bunch of hippies that can't come up with anything better to do! GO alpa? THEBEST

 

[indianboy7]

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

Was there last week, and the week before, and the week before, and the week before....unless they plan on hanging out on the sidewalk, they'll be pretty much hidden from traffic....not to mention it's not exactly I-405 at 8am monday morning on river road.....

Not that I disagree with your opinion of alpa (because I do agree alpa sucks for us) but, they did picket at the delta shareholders meeting and lifestyle has begun to "degenerate" as you said. SLC base closing, losing 700's, not getting 900's.
