Skywest, United and Delta have a plan for you guys, unfortunately it is gonna be painful. SKYW hates unions more than you can imagine, probably almost as much as UAL DAL does.
As the draw down/transfer happens, junior pilots will jump over to the UAL/DAL side and continue their careers at first year pay, senior guys will hold on for dear life and wonder how much Homer Dipot, starting pay will be, after the doors are chained shut.
They sent the dwarf to do the dirty work, and you are getting a taste. The problem isn't ALPA it's the airline business. Regionals were always the "D" scale operations, created to keep employee pay low, nothing more. This isn't about just pilots, it's about every employee who gets paid less than a mainline position. Wanna fix the problem? Quit, walk away, say thanks but no thanks, but you won't and they know it, because they study you like an an ant farm on a desk. Our need or desire to fly makes us very predictable and even easier to manipulate, congrats you will pay dearly for that need or desire. Crack Hos will do anything for a rock and pilots will do even more.....
