Tarzan. Right on man. This whole hypersensitivity to someone either in alpa or represented by alpa thinking any thoughts other than pro-alpa thoughts is absolutely absurd.
ALPA defenders and reps who hold this line are very ignorant in my opinion. Speedtape, I'm not really hammering down on you. There are many people at ASA who have a live by alpa/die by alpa mentality that is far from where I stand. I have reached the point where I think that ALPA is actually detrimental to the future of our airline, as keeping it will likely prevent one-list.
To the gentleman who asked what I think will be incredibly beneficial about merging with skywest, I am referring specifically to becoming part of the "TEAM" rather than remaining the outsider. It has nothing to do with the incremental issues that we get memos on every few weeks. It is about the big picture.
My point is simply this. In my opinion Skywest is one of the absolute best airlines in the country and I do not see this changing in the future. There is nothing better that has happened to ASA in recent history. Skywest is currently holding us as a sellable asset. Our being sold away from skywest is not a good thing. We should 100 percent embrace skywest and attempt to get them to embrace us as one of their own.
This comes from proving ourselves as we have been doing for the past couple years, but the problem is that we are concurrently proving ourselves to be a better sellable asset. This is NOT what we want. We need SKYW inc. to consider us an equal performer and we then need them to join us on one list.
