Skywest Pilots Uphold CAL scope!

[BHopper88]

And all those CAL pilots on here and the various boards that blasted us SkyWest pilots and the calls to deny us the jumpseat and our standing bid list being passed around, we are non union scum, etc etc etc. Many of us are very supportive of the CAL scope fight, and when a capt DOES take a stand (beyond what the CAL MEC recommended us to do: fly and just report it to SAPA then passed the report to the CAL MEC)(and could punished or even fired) where will the CAL pilots be? Will they take donations to help this CA out? Prob not..

That pilot sure shouldn't be having to buy themselves any beer for the foreseeable future.

Well done.

:beer:

I totally agree. I think the Continental guys should have the Skywest pilots picket for them from here on out.

Maybe the Skywest pilots could picket in CAL's crew room to show them how it's done. Then the CAL pilots can tell management how tough they are.

I'm cracking up because there are usernames milfhunter and mikesapartment

To the SKYW crew great job, to CAL pilots I think you owe the SKYW guys an apology and lunch.

Nice job Skywest pilots!!!!

Lets be real, the CAL pilots would cross anyway.

I had family at CAL during the strike. He didn't cross. In fact he was so disgusted he quit instead of go back. When I was a kid we used to take lunches down to the picketers at LAX.
Broke his heart to see his friends give in like that, well ex-friends. I still have a list of those who crossed. ALPA may have forgiven it, but I won't.

Well done gentlemen, I applaud you. The only people I have heard against the Skywest crews at CAL were on this website and there is no telling if they are really CO pilots. Most of us understand that the regional guys and girls are only doing their job, so for someone to stick their neck out and say "I ain't flying that" is quite impressive.

Again, well done and thank you!

I was 5 years old in 1983. A vast majority of cal pilots have no history w the strike. But thanks for the generalization that I'm a scab...

If you're not on the list you're fine.

 

[Erlanger]

The cancellation was listed as "crew disruption" , WTF does that mean? I'm not liking the tone of that.

 

[Crzipilot]

It means the company is about to severely disrupt that crew's life.

Ask around what happened to the lear guys etc, when the UPS pilots were supporting the teamsters. Low end contract guys, no protection, honoring that dispute.....

ALPA may have forgiven it, but I won't.

How has ALPA forgiven?

Republic or whomever flew a E-170 for CLT to IAH on 1-7-10. We know these guys have no balls.

Why does United and US Air and CAL DAL pay these guys and then compete against them? I know they have a contract, but they award them additional flying all the time? Its great for Republic, they deadhead crew members around their systems to get them to where they need the crew to fly the frontier flights.=NICE United still paying for alot of their fuel for the frontier flying?
