Yep you're right. But for any Pilot group to get a contract like those mentioned above without the very real threat of a strike, I think it is safe to say that Mgmt, rather than any Union, is to thank. That's not to say, of course, that those unions aren't particularly strong...but the key here is the managment-pilot relationship.

remember too that the people heading your company now wont be around forever, and history has proven that the next people in power wont always be of the caliber youre leaders are now.
CAL wasnt always led by Lorenzo, United didnt always have the mgmt team they have now, etc.

Texas,
Yes, we are one the better paying regionals on some levels. Our first year pay is disgraceful. Our CA/FO turboprop rates are among the highest for 30 seats, and our RJ CA rates are slightly above average. Our RJ FO pay is good, but could be a little better. 700/900 are on par with others. But we are keeping the industry down. Sorry guys.

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but have I said ALPA sucks? Man I love Skywest. I know it ticks people off I am happy, but oh well, work hard, be happy, and. Have a great day.

I have an honest question for you AWAC, Horizon, and XJT guys? The friends I have at 2 of these 3 places have all told me they feel that the good contracts they have are less to the credit of ALPA and more to the credit of the good relationship their pilot groups have with mngmt. Any truth to this?
As for the GoJet thing, I think IBT organizing them was a total disgrace. At least they aren't in the same local as QX, RAH, and all the non-sked airlines.
