Keep up the drive skywst folks!! I will be happy to see them voted in THIS TIME!!
The great thing about taking responsibility for failure, is you then become empowered to be different (better) in the future. If none of this is ALPA's fault, then ALPA is just a powerless victim. Why would anyone want to align themselves with an organization that is powerless and cannot affect change? You really can't have it both ways.Rez O. Lewshun said:As far as the ALPA bashing.......
So far there has been only rethoric. There are two reasons:
1. A majority of pilots, including ALPA members, do not understand how the organization functions. Thus they have expectations that are not realistic. When asked for solutions to the current dilema the majority display their misinformation and ignorance.
2. We are in the worst situation an Air Line Pilot can find him/herself. A White House Admin that does not support Air Line Pilots and a management culture that only cares about dollars.
Now.... how is that ALPA's fault? Not to worry- if and when the good times return none of this will be relevant.

Face it, if SkyWest wants a 10% paycut tomorrow for you guys, there's not a thing you can do about it except for quit. If they want a 10% paycut for ASA guys, they have to contend with our union. Our union has already said that they are not going to accept a concessionary contract.

I believe if the company gave the Skywest pilots a 10% pay cut the pilots would collectively pay a lawyer to sue and it would play out much the same. As a side note, a year or so ago a court recognized our F/A's agreement as a legally binding contract during the course of an emplyment lawsuit.
