In a ruling Wednesday, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California refused the Air Line Pilots Association’s request to ban SkyWest Airlines from funding SkyWest Airlines Pilot Association (SAPA). Further, the court denied ALPA access to company e-mail, mail boxes and training classes. Even so, SkyWest Airlines, a subsidiary of SkyWest, Inc. (SKYW), reiterated its pledge to support open communication policy between leadership and employees.
