Eskimo ERJ175s flown by SkyWest.

We have no scope at all .. zero !! Nada .. They can have 500 RJ'S if they want with as many seats as they want ...

I remember there was once an airline called "Midwest Express."

Well SKW just got 3 DL routes to AK (Sitka, Ketchikan, and Juneau) on CR9s. But, not all is great for them, they are parking all of their Brasilias by next Summer to get the pilots necessary to fill these new planes and routes for both AK and DL.

True, but that will help them source some pilots for the new jets, which was my point.

Voted no for a number of reasons, lack of scope being the biggest one.

I actually found a Hell No button to press !! when I voted

Alaska could enter a CPA to fly 737's if they wanted to. Our contract is so wide open that you would think we got screwed in a bankruptcy proceeding. Company claims the intent is to "develop" the markets and then transfer them to mainline. Has this ever happened in the history of Alaska Airlines?

We can vote "no" all we want but the good majority of this pilot group is spineless, selfishly stupid, and beyond help.

Just like every Skywest pilot I talk to, they all say they voted for a union and didn't really want take anyone else's flying. But they are fast to agree it was a good choice to go there and their collective voice says they don't want a collective union voice. Good luck Alaska, I soon see all AG tailed planes flown by the industry under cutters of every airline except Mesa, Great Lakes etc.
