Compass or SkyWest

[Nevets]

This is your "riding the coattails" argument right? What would you call two seperate groups of pilots who pay union dues being kept afloat for years by a group of pilots that don't pay union dues, so that they can continue to pay dues to two useless unions? Sounds like riding the coattails to me.

Or maybe we could just use transitive property? The SkyWest pilots continue to create revenue that keeps ExpressJet and ASA pilots employed. Therefore, aren't they helping to keep union dues flowing in a roundabout way?

You figured it out. This is ALPA's master plan to make Skywest airlines fund the unprofitable XJT and therefore directly bankroll their union dues! You are being trick fukked!

Anyway, yes. The list is very long. Things that every pilot from GA to NASA take for granted have at least some thanks due for pilot unions. Things like ALS or the basic T pattern. And even for other non-pilot airmen like yourself take advantage of things like ASAP thanks to pilot unions. That is riding coat tails. The pilots of Skywest and XJT both just do their job safely and per our FOMs. There is no difference on what we do that affects profitability. So if management hasn't been able to do their job in making both sides profitable, it does not equate to one group paying the other's wages. That is the classic correlative based fallacy.

That's the most valid argument for Compass I've ever heard!:beer:

Funny you guys that make fun of the dispatchers..You guys are all the types that call your dispatcher in a panic asking for help when you dropped your keys, or your fleshlight fell out of your overnight bag on a swap...

I don't think anyone on here has been making fun of a dispatcher because they are a dispatcher.

Can you point out where?

It appears more that people are conversing with someone who happens to be a dispatcher, and shooting down every illogical point they are trying to make.

Another rumor board stated Compass was getting an LAX base next Feb and may pick up more of the current DCI flying there. Obviously 717s must be scheduled to take some current E175 flying in DTW or maybe even MSP.....

Never had issues with dispatchers (though some were morons), but crew scheduling...that's a different story.
