With all this talk of shrinkage, what about all these new aircraft orders for skywest Inc. ? They have to go somewhere. I guess it's possible they all go to skywest, but unlikely. Are they playing the wipsaw game with those because of the negotiations?

In the meantime, the warden keeps playing nice with the favored inmates and gives them all the aircraft. It's too bad those inmates don't see the injustice of a concessionary contract and don't help us against our warden. They'd lose the warden's graces though so they turn their back on their fellow inmates instead.
And the whipsaw continues.

Then whenever we do vote in a contract, things may change? Not to say I will bend to bullying. No pay, no fly. But just curious what happens after a ratified agreement.

Our current contract is already millions more expensive than Skywest's. We won't vote in a concessionary contract. So any new contract we do vote in will be even more expensive. So I don't see us getting any new flying either way. We are held hostage by the inmates on the other side of the prison.

We will get some airplanes, but once our cost is set, they can go to the Skywesties and give them the maximum number of airplanes allowed by our scope agreement, and then proceed to violate our scope with more airplanes to their side that we can possibly fight about in court, if ALPA will bother to fight it. So scope is key, how Inc. allocates the airplanes, or figures out how to push pilots to the cheaper side.
