Keeping my job is incentive enough for me to stay on time.

Just guessing.
I see your point. However, it would be assumed then, that SkyWest has on time performance that stands out above the unionized carriers, since their unions are suggested to hamper their on-time performance.

Lots of airlines are unionized including the following carriers and more:

Air Canada Jazz
Air Midwest
Air Wisconsin
Alaska
Aloha
American
American Eagle
ATA
ASA
Atlas
Champion
Comair
Continental
Delta
Evergreen
ExpressJet
FedEx
Freedom
Gemini
Hawaiian
Mesa
Mesaba
Midwest
Northwest
Piedmont
Pinnacle
Polar
PSA
Skyway
Spirit
Southwest
TSA
United
US Airways
UPS

I do not see any way that their on-time performance stands out above those companies.
