The ASA contract negotiations are finally making their way into the press. And guess what: Skywest makes the headline! How long will Jerry be able to stand this?

Union pilots at Skywest unit authorize strike
Associated Press
NEW YORK - The pilots of a SkyWest Inc. unit voted to authorize a strike if longstanding contract talks don't result in an agreement.
The Atlantic Southeast Airlines pilots, which are represented by the Air Line Pilots Association International, said more than 92 percent of the responding pilots voted in favor of the measure.
SkyWest, based in St. George, Utah, flies regional jets for Delta Connections flights for Delta Air Lines Inc. and United Express flights for United Airlines, a unit of UAL Corp.
Atlanta-based Delta sold Atlantic Southeast to SkyWest, a non-union carrier, prior to Delta's filing for bankruptcy in September.
Atlantic Southeast operates throughout the United States, mainly as a Delta Connection feeder airline for Delta's Atlanta hub.
John Perkinson, a spokesman at Atlantic Southeast, said the union isn't currently in negotiations with SkyWest, but hopes to return to the bargaining table soon. Contract talks began nearly four years ago, Perkinson said. Some major issues, including compensation and retirement benefits, have yet to be ironed out, the spokesman said.
A spokesman for SkyWest couldn't be reached for comment.
SkyWest shares fell 61 cents, or 2.4 percent, to close at $24.55 on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
