Darn right it is. At SkyWest many of us prefer to let other airlines do the heavy lifting. We have thrived this way for 35 years no need to change it now.

That has never happeend before. The recent "pay proposal" sales pitch didn't include any airilnes that paid better than us (XJT, Comair et all.)
You ORD based?
XJT had not signed their extension yet at the time of our pay proposal. We still need to wait for a few other airlines to raise their pay. Once we can assure we stay competitive then we can leap frog above the other airlines without wasting our money on ALPA. Yes I am based in ORD. I still have an open invitation for anyone who wants to know who I am to come to chicago for my "Good Riddance ALPA" BBQ when the union drive fails. I will serve a lot better food than ALPA does however.
Ski_Bum said:what can I do for ALPA?
Why should anyone have to do $hit for ALPA? The pilots are the ones paying the money its ALPAs job to get off their butts and get to work. Tell them to get their nose out of the politicians pooper and start working. Why pay money to an organization that is just gonna sit there spending your dues money on liquid lunches ? Then when you even question them they say the same tired cliches. YOU are ALPA blah blah blah. ALPA created those cheesy cliches to hide the fact they are a worthless, lazy, corrupt organization.
So basically you are telling us if we vote in ALPA we are gonna have to waste our money every month then get lectured about how we all need to get involved even though we pay the money? What a joke, thanks though you just helped ALPA lose even more votes here at SkyWest. If the pilots are paying all this money they shouldn't have to lift one finger. Boy the union has you guys brainwashed pretty good. Nice frosty ALPA koolaid. Sorry the SkyWest koolaid is the correct and better koolaid.
