I think you mean "rift" , it's a geological term.

Actually I think he meant "riff", as in guitar. Compass and Skywest pilots are putting together a band.

So I doubt you have anything to worry about.

Not true. ALPA is still very interested in assisting SkyWest. Yes, the initial organization effort needs to start internally, but ALPA is willing and able to assist in getting the ball rolling. In fact they already are.

You're not listening hard enough then. Might want to ask your "guys" again........
Not saying anything is going to come of any of it. In fact, I dont't have high hopes at all, but efforts are underway, and they most definitely include ALPA.

ALPA doesn't do crap for regional carriers except drain pilots of what little pay they have.

Hmm, well, care to explain why ExpressJet had Soft Landings 2.0 before we did, when SAPA were the ones to negotiate it? Seems like everything we get, XJT gets first. Why do you suppose that is?

I'm not shocked. I believed they had plans for growth but if I could do it over again I would still vote no.
No matter how many airplanes we receive, it isn't worth voting in a loss of pay and more importantly taking away negotiating power from other regionals.
