SkyWest Pay Proposal Rejected!!!

So Skywest is now ExpressJet, ASA and Skywest right? Why don't the pilots of all 3 groups work together? I mean there is a reason why management keeps the companies separate. There are so many areas that a synergy would reduce costs, but I'm sure they've figured out that keeping all the various union and non-union groups walking on thin ice with a continuous undertone of (who's getting what flying) is far more cost beneficial than the synergy of combining the groups.

I was re-educating myself on alter-ego and found this... so it looks like Skywest is maintaining enough separation.

The following are indicia of a single transportation system:
[W]hether a combined schedule is published; how the carrier advertises its services; whether reservation systems are combined; whether tickets are issued on one carrier's stock; if signs, logos and other publicly visible indicia have been changed to indicate only one carrier's existence; whether personnel with public contact were held out as employees of one carrier; and whether the process of repainting planes and other equipment, to eliminate indications of separate existence, has been progressed.
Other factors investigated by the Board seek to determine if the carriers have combined their operations from a managerial and labor relations perspective. Here, the Board investigates whether labor relations and personnel functions are handled by one carrier; whether there are a common management, common corporate officers and interlocking Boards of Directors; whether there is a combined workforce; and whether separate identities are maintained for corporate and other purposes.

Work collectively on 1 CBA and include some non-negotiable language that provides flow between the groups if one group furloughs. I'm sure the company would use one group as a sacrificial lamb creating furloughs, but force the language to allow people to flow between the groups maintaining their YOS with SkyWest Holdings for pay and DOH for bidding. It would benefits the whole group. Skywest is the biggest, do something industry leading and start pulling in other pilot groups from other regional airlines and create RALPA lol or something to stop the regional groups from getting played.
