Fair enough.

We don't need a union at OO because for the most part management isn't out there to screw us over like management at Envoy, TSA, former Colgan, Comair, PSA and so forth succeed in doing so. Also, I don't want to pay my hard earned cash to a worthless (to regional pilots) organization like ALPA.

You haven't been here long. I picked up a 1.5 time trip last week when they called me. I got half way to the airport and they called and said it was cancelled but thanks. Then they removed it with no pay and said there was nothing I could do about it.

Yep, you could of gone home and got paid if you a contract. Depending on the trip that right there would of paid your union dues for a couple of years.

I agree that a union won't do much for us. But I utterly disagree that management treats us any better than at the other regionals.

Although it'd be worth having a union just to see the heads explode in SGU...
