Guys and gals......knock off the name calling now please.
How is the ALPA drive progressing at skywest?
Given the amount of time it's taking to get the desired number of cards back, I'd have to say "NOT TOO GOOD!".
I've spoken to many pilots that want the ALPA vote- so they can vote no and the drive will be over with no more mutterings of ALPA.
I hate to hear this as I firmly believe that the survival of ASA with any improvements in work conditions/rules is contingent on the unionization of SkyWest. No SkyWest ALPA= no real progress for the regional industry.

The Majority or true value pilots desire to leave future SkyWest pilots with some tools (ALPA or something besides SAPA) even if they aren't here in 5 years. Too many new hires that want to top out at $94.00 /hr. {see Sad, (unless your a sim guy)}. Unions aren't going to solve everything but I guess if want your status quo, then keep your box corked unless you have a better solution to make the future brighter at the regional level.
We became one step closer to a brighter future with the voting in of the seperate payscales. Next step is more pay increases/COLA.
When did SkyWest get separate payscales?
All I heard about was a BOHICA override that won't amount to much of anything, (3-4% maybe).
How long was that 18 month TA expired for before you managed to get the wonderful new pay package?
I'd call you a tool but that would be insulting to the tools. You're ignorance is staggeringly beyond comprehension. What makes you think you'll see COLA or a pay increase before 2010 or later?
The facts and history all indicate that you will be screwed for the next four years. What's going to change? You and 57% of the 70% that voted just screwed the pooch. The same people that predicted the future when the 50-99 seat deal came around tried to tell you fukkers but you can't seem to listen.
How's ORD treating you a$$wipe? Penalty box helping that 2nd year FO pay?
So we will do all the work to get a great contract and pansies like you will say that you got a good deal because you didn't have a union, right?Two ASA and a couple other groups will probably have a contract long before then thus giving us more leverage.
