UNITY Podcast – Episode 1

Brothers and Sisters,

As we continue through a critical phase in our journey toward a stronger contract and a better future for our pilot group, I want to take a moment to recognize an important truth: trust doesn’t come from titles or positions—it’s built through transparency, accountability, and honest conversations.

We’ve heard the questions. We’ve seen the concerns. And we understand that some of our fellow pilots have doubts about our direction, our leadership, and our union. Rather than dismiss those concerns, we want to address them openly.

That’s why we’re launching a new podcast series designed to provide straightforward updates and insight into where we are as a union and where we’re headed. In the first episode, I sit down with Trustee Greg Unterseher to ask the questions that many of you have been asking—questions that deserve honest answers.

This podcast isn’t about politics or posturing. It’s about clarity. It’s about communication. And it’s about making sure every pilot has the information needed to make informed decisions.

We may not always agree on every issue, but I believe we all want the same thing: a better contract, a stronger voice, and a more unified pilot group. If we can approach these discussions with respect, curiosity, and a shared commitment to the truth, I believe we can move forward—together.

Thank you for your continued professionalism, your feedback, and your willingness to engage.

In Solidarity,

CA Robert Skiles
Chairman, Communications Committee
