Big meeting: Skywest, ASA/XJet, Alpa, SAPA

[CFIT]

To me it seems when Inc can't get any more from it employees from whipsaw, then it will go forward to becoming one large carrier. What's the point in having multiple training, maintenance, and flight ops departments?

I think the aspect of one list is not if but when?

In fact if there was an effort to establish an in house union, like a SWAPA or APA, then it probably would be a lot closer to reality.

Problem is many at all 3 airlines hate ALPA.

Most CRJ pilots have no interest in joining with skyw coat-tailers.

Then you should tell your president that because I know one list is being pursued.

He doesn't represent the majority... In anything.

INC would get rid of XJET and let them have fun on there own well before being forced into merging them into the golden (non union) child. Just give up on this garbage formula.

How would they get rid of XJET? Anyway, XJET is cash flow positive. So what do you mean by having fun on their own?

 

[XPOO]

How would they get rid of XJET?

Well, for starters, ALPA will never be able to force Inc to submit contract proposals in ExpressJet's name. Neither can they force AA/AK/DL/UA/US to accept any "outlandish" proposals Inc may submit on ExpressJet's behalf. You lose contracts, then you lose flying, then you lose airframes, then you lose jobs. But that's just one extreme scenario.

SkyWest pilots are very logical. They do not pay union dues but still get the benefits. A friend over there told me they have to get whatever ASA/Xjet gets. If this is true then they have the best of both worlds. I do still owe a lot of ALPA guys thanks for all the free food I ate between 2006 and the summer of 2007 when I left SkyWest.

I would say there is a change in the air.

However, the SKW pilot group has made it pretty clear that they have no interest in a one list. So, instead of respecting that position, now you are threatening to force the SKW pilot group into doing it anyways? You're the one who needs good luck.

So you were at the meeting? Which group of pilots brought up the one list topic to INC management?

 

[Ops check good]

XPOO - thank you, some people dont get it but you do.
