Skywest taking ASA planes (non-union-taking union work)

[scarlet]

ALPA is planning a big push for Skywest pilots to join. Skywest is offering their pilots alot of growth and a raise !!

Alot of Skywest pilots say they are not voting in favor of ALPA, but will fly ASA planes and routes !!

 

[Morning Wood]

If SkyWest owns ASA, but Delta owns the airplanes, then whose airplanes are they really? The route's aren't ASA's any more than the airplanes are.

 

[EMB170Pilot]

it's "a lot" by the way

Now you know. And knowing is half the battle.

 

[McNugget]

Go JOE!

 

[scarlet]

then maybe we could fly your aircraft and routes for cheaper price...

 

[Laboule]

Route

Another one...what does route own? Do you mean routes?

 

[Tomct]

All that needs to be done is all of the "Union/Alpa" Majors/Cargo carriers should only hire Union pilots! If you don't belong to one....hope you enjoy flying an RJ your entire career! And their "Lame" inhouse yesmen crew does'nt count as a union either!

 

[Laboule]

do you mean doesn't? maybe your union dues should have gone toward grammar classes. or is that union doos?

Hey folks,

I got a few questions for anyone willing to give an educated answer.

Is any pilot at ASA being furloughed or given lower pay because SkyWest is taking a small portion of their flying? Would SkyWest have won bids for those routes anyway if they had never bought ASA? I've never heard a single complaint from a SkyWest pilot about their QOL. The 50-seat pay on the 900 seems to be their only issue. Is ALPA really needed just to correct that?

Now don't get all your panties in a twist. I'm not asking any of this sarcastically. I know this is like talking about religion for most of you, but I'd like to see some of your thoughts on those questions.

SKYW is taking some of ASA's CRJ700s, true. Ever notice the N***BR CRJ200s showing up? They are replacing the 70's with these GECAS planes. I'm sure it's all perfectly legit too.
