Meeting with Skywest,Inc

[jehtplane]

Today a meeting was held with Mr. Atkins, and I would just like to offer congrats to our two reps that made total asses of themselves today way to go guys. You know what they say about first impressions.

Which reps were they and what did they do?

 

[WWEfan]

Yeah, what happened? Reps for who?

 

[jehtplane]

What did they do?

Without going into to much detail, basically acted like a couple of moron's to the point other employees were asking questions and prefacing with "I am not a pilot so I will not attack you". . Other people in the room were embarrassed for them.
They asked some ridiculous questions and even got our CEO to step in and tell them they used "poor choice of words". Pathetic......

 

[jehtplane]

Yeah, what happened? Reps for who?

Two of our own.

 

[ATR-DRIVR]

Pilot reps???? Line pilots? Who exactly?

 

[JoeMerchant]

Two of our own.

ALPA reps or line pilots?

 

[jehtplane]

Pilot reps???? Line pilots? Who exactly?

Two ALPA reps

 

[anon]

Is there some reason in particular that you prefer to be so vague?

Could this be some flamebait going on?

Who, what, where, when, why???

 

[JoeMerchant]

Two ALPA reps

Doesn't surprise me. We have some very juvenile status reps. that are way out of their league. They are led around like lap dogs by an extremely militant MEC Chairman who has a "burn the house down" mentality. Don't blindly trust your ALPA reps. do what is best for you. What you saw today is only a sample of what "our" side has been doing for a long time.

Lemme guess...same guys that jumped Skip at the 08/04 classes?

Not flame , wish it was, not naming names. The first question asked was, I heard skywest is getting iced oatmeal cookies, are we getting them too? Second question was How do you feel about the 3.5 years of negotiating? Mr Atkin's then asked what he thought the problem was, response was simply two words, Ford and Harrison. Your first meeting with our new chief and these are your first two questions? This sounds simple but the tone and they way they were asked came off as attacking and was viewed by everyone else in the room, apparently you could have heard a cricket fart

Whatever...

No need, ALPA does a fine job giving itself a bad name.

I believe Jehtplane because his other posts have been fairly positive on ALPA. He's not really anti-ALPA as I have become. I'm glad some people are beginning to see first hand how we are being "represented".

Would one of them be WF?

So, I take it that you were there?

 

[jehtplane]

Only know the name of one of them, but he was not one.
