Why I will vote ALPA at Skywest

[pianoman]

All ALPA wants is Skywests Pilots money. They will NOT fight for you. Look how they rolled over and refused to fight for Trans States Pilots vs. GoJet Skumbags. They did not want to spend the money to fight for what is right, period. Skywest pilots are doing better than what ALPA could ever have done for them. ALPA does not protect regional pilots. All they want is your money so they can fight for scopes against you. Conflictingting interests..... hmmm!

ALPA will only protect your job if you're a Union leader. If you're not, too bad.

Ummm...how about all the "rat" rallies at TSA? The lawsuits filed? Just because they didn't win the lawsuit doesn't mean they didn't "spend the money to fight for what is right".

All the press on Mesaba during their tough times?

I don't agree with everything they do either, especially age 60, but regionals have as much of a voice as majors do. One man, one vote.

And you want scopes dropped so everyone can fly bigger equipment for even lower wages at the regionals? Scope is the only thing that will save this industry.

Well,
The thought of flying around the country, and sleeping in hotels on my 64th birthday make me wanna have "do it yourself eye surgery" with a plastic fork, I do empathize with the 55+ pilots who's retirement was yanked out from underneath their feet, due to MANAGMENTs quest for massive profits. Try to think about someone besides yourself, for once. And no I am not anywhere near retirement! I just feel bad for those guys.
