Because management (amcnd) would then know who voted against the company and they would be targeted. While there are some fantastic individuals as our reps the sad reality is SAPA represents the company to the pilots. Their hands are tied. When the VP of Ops tells me our current SAPA president is the best one we have ever had, that tells me he is not representing the pilots.
Also a pilot should be on line for at least a year before being eligible to vote.
The SAPA president went to all the new hire classes and did the hard sell.
It's time for change!

Everybody has their own opinion and that is fine, but I don’t care how a rep votes. I care if or if not a rep votes to send the package to the pilot group AND what was or was not in said package.
That said, I’ve heard a couple of reps announce publically that they voted no which is contrary to what I’ve read here.

Vote?
Do you people really believe you have some form of representation?
OMG!

With 19 years in the regional game, starting over at another regional probably makes people into a less friendly version of themselves.
Merry Christmas.

That's awesome. I see the "contract" word get thrown around quite a bit too. If Skywest decides to violate the so called 'handbook' there isn't anything the pilots can do. When push comes to shove that's when things will get interesting.

Yes some reps voted no. After voting yes to send the package to the pilots. Two different things.
At least one was hoping for a resounding defeat at the hands of the pilots, to send a message. Obviously that didn't work out.

Of course some did, although they were probably of the 10-11 month variety. There's a reason NOBODY else lets new hires vote. You need to walk in someones shoes before you can make decisions on their behalf, newhires are still trying to wash off the koolaid marinade.
