I have 3 busts (Private, Instrument and ME-add on) Ive passed Commercial CFI, CFII and MEI. It's sounds bad but allow me put it into context. At the time I was (and still am) active duty in the military, attending Embry-Riddle (3.6 GPA) and a single dad. I am not saying that as an excuse just wanted to clarify that learning to fly wasn't the only thing I was doing. Would I be considered? FWIW I was hired by another regional, because they had domiciles that would work for me as far as child care (I haven't gone to class yet, awaiting separation). My child care situation has changed and Skywest's domiciles work better for me.

Same argument could've been made back when we first started flying the E175. I still think if as a pilot group we could've held off on bidding for the plane until pay rates and details like travel bennies were worked out, we would've been better off. The fact that it took over a year to get jump seat access on Delta should tell you everything you need to know about how worried our People department is about taking care of the employees. I swear that some of the Bro pilots didn't have the same travel benefits back in the day, but I can't remember for sure. It seems like there was a Bro base that didn't do flying for a partner and they didn't have flight benefits.

If you are a winged military aviator, that would supersede all the old civilian busts. If not, I think you're still OK with SKW assuming those busts were all in an isolated time period and reflect the circumstances of the time. A lot of busts spread out over a long period of time would indicate low pilot aptitude, or poor work ethic combined with inability to learn from mistakes.

Count me as one junior guy ready to rock the boat hard and long. Let's let the current situation stew until the summer flying comes on in a tidal wave. Moral is just approaching the edge of the cliff, won't be long now before the plumet. I'm sure support will be much easier to find then.
Truth is there are people talking behind the scenes and another Union drive is probably a lot closer than some anti-union guys would be comfortable with. I'd bet a lot of the people hired in the last two years would be quite happy to vote yes.

Another question, what are the chances of a new hire going to LAX or PSP?

Perhaps a little less nitpicking and some reading comprehension work would serve you well.
Notice CCB mentioned rocking the boat and I lended my allegiance that I'd be willing to "rock the boat" referring to another union drive. I'll also bring your attention to the word "ready" which implies I haven't done anything yet. Good find Sherlock. You busted a forum poster who doesn't have anything to show for their posts. Shocker there.
