As former alpa, they arent going to do shot for skywest. We have got it better than most regionals. yeah the 70 pay rate isnt there but average the 50 vs the 70 and we are doing ok. Our w2s and our work rules are the envy of most, oh wait mngmnt can change our policy manual at will. Wait, what has been taken away from us lately? The "chipping away of our policy manual", BS. What has ALPA done to make it better; mesa, tsa, asa, skyway, ual, delta. All the losers at Skywest that want alpa are on the chopping block anyway. They think they will get protected from their sorry donkeys from being fired, by alpa, BS. We get nothing from alpa. Hire a lawyer, or aviation medical services with the 2% you will save over time, if you need it. Flock alpa and all you think they will do, youll be just as disgruntled with alpa as you would be without them. If you dont like Skywest now with all we have, you wont like them with all we will lose if alpa is on property. If you Skywesters dont like all that I am thankful for, then beat it.
