Good to see there is still animosity out there towards ATR pilots.....🙄
Re-read and my point still stands. You’ve missed it so I’ll explain.
It doesn’t matter if it’s VA or VA group. Skywest was never part the group when most ATR Pilots joined. Nor were they to be on the group seniority list (at the time of joining). The acquisition and joint seniority all happened by default. In contrast, many pilots on the 737 joined VA or the VA group intentionally (they didn’t end up on the list out of sheer luck). Now they have to listen to ATR pilots above them complain all the time because they didn’t get the icing on the cake that was made for them.
As for animosity... As long as they keep complaining it will be there. They have been blessed with their position on the list. “Do your time and be thankful with what you have”.
