boeing76 said:I don't see the relevance to the post, but to answer your question, going on 3 years. I am concerned because whatever the pilots do affects the rest of the company. I realize that my words are not going to change the minds of thousands of pilots, but I am entitled to my opinion. I only know of one union that has worked for an airline and that is WN. Herb approached the pilot group and encouraged them to unify but with Skywest and other airlines I have been with in the past, the threat of union is to intimidate management. This is just too volatile of an industry to bankrupt a company. Think for a moment if UAL strikes because of the pension issue. It is a travesty that they have all lost their retirements but if they walk then the company most likely would liquidate. There would be a huge influx of airline employees on the street trying to get work and there wouldn't be enough positions. To me, that gives Skywest the upper hand. They know that there aren't enough jobs available out there so you have to decide...take what you have or attempt to start over.
I am sure that the union vote will pass this time. There has been a lot of discontent amont the pilots. At least I can say I got my opinion out. Nothing more to say here. I am leaving this lynch mob while I still have my running shoes on.
He's entitled to his opinion, but maybe it should come with a dispatch point of view? I would be interested to know how content the dispatchers are with the way things are in their realm.Gr82Aviate said:I think Boeing 76 is a dipspatcher, not a flight crewmember and therefore shouldn't be giving us his "2 cents worth"!!

Morning Wood said:Absolutely. Since a union on the property only has ramifications
for the pilots, no other employee group is entitled to say anything
or be concerned. I for one wish you guys would just vote a
union in and be done with it instead of this sabre rattling that goes
on every two years.
