Default SkyWest INC: Hold The Line!

Folks, we are entering a fun little era of whipsaw against the SkyWest airlines. XJT has a concessionary TA and SAPA has been presented with concessionary work rules.

The second one of these groups flinches, we start a nice TSA/GoJet style whipsaw.

"Vote this in and you'll get the next batch of shiny new E175's"

No thanks!

Please be strong and support each other!

I'd personally like to see all 7000 SkyWest INC pilots under one representation. Fence the certificates if you want, but give me one list and allow seniority transfers when the airplanes switch certificates. Give me SAPA, ALPA, or another party...now THAT's bargaining power.

XJT, we support you guys. Hold out for a TA you deserve! RAH has been trying to force crap down our throats for 7 years, our union won't even put it to a vote....hold strong and avoid concessions!!!

My knowledge of the XJT/ASA TA is that there isn't even the the bait of new aircraft. Management must be pretty confident it will pass.

Also, you might want to reconsider ALPA. As you said, there are far better ways to get actual representation.

From what I have heard the concessions SkyWest wants from SAPA would be holiday pay, deadhead pay and the biggest issue that SAPA won't budge on is continuing BHO for the 175 pay.
