And since I know you'll respond with this...
One more time, just for YOU, LOL (and if you respond, then I KNOW I'M getting under YOUR skin)

My guess is that the reasons Skywest pilots don't unionize have to do with:
1. Apathy - most people don't think about it, don't know about, don't care about it.
2. Fear of the unknown - don't want to upset the apple cart. Management does just enough to appease pilots in this category and in number 1 above.
3. Anti-union management propaganda convincing pilots in number 1 and 2 above; and
4. The rest of the anti-union pilots.

The Forbidden Discussion - Unions & Skywest
No matter what the worst case scenario ramifications you can think of, it will never make up for the disproportionate fleet changes between the two airlines and accompanying ramifications to the pilots' families one of the airlines. When one regional had a total of 294 aircraft, 104 of which were large RJs and now has 381 (211 large RJs), compared to the other which had a combined 410 aircraft, 52 of which were large RJs and now has 174 (73 large RJs), its apparent what the real ramifications are of staying as separate pilot groups.

Your one-liners are comically inept. Honestly, why DO you troll the Skywest boards, anyway? For years you've trolled the Skywest baord with literally ZERO to say that might be construed as even remotely positive in nature. Your post history is 100% composed of bombs and one overused MEME - all 808 posts to this point.
I'm not, and never have been, a Skywest employee, yet I have quite a few friends who are (or have been), which is why I've seen your stupid posts and even more stupid single over-used MEME over the past few years (see below). All want to move on, yet try to enjoy or endure their time there as much as they possibly can. YOU, however, want to come in with your one or two sentence drive-by's and consider yourself SO informed and worldly, culminating in your one and only comically and predictably over-used MEME.
Your thought process: "I'm so enlightened - as opposed to these SKYWEST pilot idiots - that all I have to do is type one or two vague, yet passively aggressive, questions, and I win, because they're idiot pilots, and I'm, well...me - Mr. Mercyful Fate".
If you're NOT somehow involved with Skywest, then WHY do you ONLY post in their threads? Why not ALL or MOST of the other airline threads?
There was a guy in this airline forum we call APC who was admired and hated all at once until he was banned (Sadly, actually. He was oddly entertaining). He was a former Eagle - and now AA - pilot who could take a half a page arguing his point(s) eloquently. He did not hesitate to take on anyone, yet he argued with a purpose. That was Eaglefly.
YOU, on the other hand, simply come in, drop broad based, vague questions/accusations, then fail to eloquently address your critics. You're an internet coward, especially compared to Eaglefly, who'd own you every day and all day. He was smart, something you've NOT demonstrated.
Let me leave you with this, since I know you'll respond with it. Pretty much, this is how we all consider you:
By the way, im should be spelled I'm. I (comma) M.

I'm former Skywest and a union is way better. What it really does is create a framework of rules and eliminates any subjective application by the Cpo or any company admin folks. No weird guilt trips for being sick, etc etc. it's a huge bonus and acts as a shield for all pilots. I'd hope to see you guys finally unionize
