Skywest..ALPA?

[HelloNewman]

These ant-ALPA people kind of remind me of the "make peace not war" people that protest anything dealing with the military. They enjoy the freedom to go on their little rants and carry on like they do but dont realize that same freedom must be protected and fought for at a price. These lemmings that think not having a union and therefore lack of ability to engage and fight the constant attacks of work rules and pay our industry is frought with do not deserve ANY of the benefits their ALPA brothers/sisters, past or present have brought them. My prediction is that the regionals have reached their mature phase of the business cycle and in the coming months start the decline phase, ultimately being reduced in scope and size. Lets make a list of those who stepped up to the plate to DO SOMETHING to make a difference and separate them from those who were only interested in securing more shiny jets for themselves at the expense of ultimately every pilot in the industry around them. These lame weenies that can only think in the singular need to be accounted for and when the time is right, left behind (ie blocked from advancement to other companies while the people willing to fight the good fight are elevated away from the sheep that only gave a dang about themselves). Off soapbox.

This isn't Russia, we at SkyWest owe NOTHING to the ALPA/union fellows. If we rode on unions coat tails the last 35 years then tough. Unions and theiur members know it is a free market economy. You can only use false market forces for so long. What has happened in the last 5-6 years is what we call balance. The unions got too strong and now market forces have provided a balance. Balance is the only way buisness can go on. Union members choose to pay the dues and take the risk that someone else may step on their back on the way. The free market system is the best in the world!

Actually ACA management tried to salvage the UAL flying. The pilots were the ones that voted down the chance to stay in the game. They were advised by none other than your precious ALPA.

stop arguing with this guy because he's clearly in management "fantasy land." in the "real world" the United TA passed at ACA.

heads he wins, tails we lose.

Everyting that effects your career is determined at some point, some way, on Capitol Hill. What are the Skywest pilots doing on CapHill? Not much if anything at all.

With the new Open Skies deal that is coming and the massive changes that could effect Skywest pilots, they will have no say in thier future. Whether that future is at Skywest or a career destination.

I don't think ALPA has done much on Capitol Hill. The majority of ALPA pilots voted against the age 65 rule. We all know what happened. Virgin America got it's approval. Where was ALPA?

But you're right. ALPA is on Capitol Hill. If they are doing anything at all is a different story.

Please provide a detailed comparative analysis of the martime industry and its possible relation to the airline industry...

That is relative and subjective... but why would you say that?

Thank god this isnt the old soviet republic, because Unions were illegal in Russia. We live in a free society and have the right to organize.

Oh, now that's just rich. The biggest retard on this board is calling someone else retards? Funny.

For god's sake, quit acting as a spokesman for SKW pilots! And, may I add that your statement there shows just how stupid and naive you really are...

News flash for ya Newman; you're an idiot.
