New Skywest vs the Old Skywest....

Nice post 120. I agree 100%.

 

[METARzan]

Agreed. Nice post! Keep preachin it! Some people are coming around.

I recently flew with a new FO and handed him the 2 page letter from KB and the summary judgment about Don from the judge. I asked him to read both and give me his thoughts. The previously Anti-union FO really had a hard time with it and couldn't justify TF's actions or KB's letter. Might have even changed his vote.

I just hope that management keeps sending out those letters. It is really helping.

I casted my vote.

as much as I hate to be the grammar police, that's pretty bad.

Yeah, well you forgot to capitalize the first word of your sentence. Jesus....go vote for ALPA, it will give you something to do for the next 2 minutes!

Remember if you dont want ALPA just dont vote. I am glad they keep reminding us to vote.

That's because you have NOTHING...and I mean NOTHING to say about the BS your mgmnt is handing out. I know that you are trying to figure out just how to swing what they are saying "your way" so that you can get back to drinking out of their "Turd Bowl Kool-Aid!" What a D!NK!

i sure wish the maint side would wake up as you guys did

Keep in mind also that IF you vote ALPA in, you will have a democratic process for electing your local reps which make up the MEC along with the MEC officers, the governing body of ALPA at each airline. The MEC sets policy on how to steer the pilot group. Of course the pilot-management relationship is a two way street but that doesn't prevent the MEC from tying to get back some of what you had in the past.

Why is it Jerry and the boys have employment contracts with the SKYW Board of Directors but he doesn't want the SKYW pilots to have a contract?

To address what has ALPA done for its represented airlines during the past 5 years.... look at it this way... Say you bought an LL Bean sleeping bag rated to -10C, and you go camping.... and the temp is -20C. You are cold. This sucks. Now consider how cold you'd be if you had no sleeping bag. Would you rather have a -10C sleeping bag or none? Now who's responsbile for ensuring they have a -20C rated sleeping bag? (hint: look in the mirror)

SkyNation, since all you could disagree with in this thread is the grammar a poster used (which btw was grammatically correct), may we assume that you agree with the pro-ALPA statements and have nothing else to add?
