Let them have them. Scum bags will fly anything for 50 seat pay. Let em fly the 737 for 50 pay too.

I bet all those newhires are going to be happy... who cares if you're screwing over another pilot group as long as the upgrades stay at 18 months!

F***ing Whores!!!!

We are splitting the payrate, getting a raise. Not whores sir sir, not even close. I certainly do sympathize with Comairs situation. I definately do not want to have our gains be someones loss. Unfortunately the company controls where the airplanes go not us. I wish the best of luck to the Comair folks.

Mookie, get me outta here! With all these whores around my wife is getting pi$$ed. She may just let me move back to the Northwest.

PS. How can I change my screen name?? Sorry Comair, ASA ect.. I hope you don't get downgraded again Happy G'mor.

What is there to be embarassed about? A lot of you guys throw cliches, insults etc out there but never offer any reasons. The only reason I hear given is because we are non-union. That is our choice not anyone elses.

By George you finally got it! You hit the nail on the head!

I am not upset with Skywest pilots. When we decided not to take the pay cuts we knew that we would be spanked. Atlanta could have done a number of things more painful than this.

We are losing pilots so fast this is barely going to slow down hiring or upgrades. It is time to stand firm against management.

While it is true from an overall staffing standpoint that we could probably lose those 12 70's and not feel it, we are going to have a lot of 70 captains flowing back into the bases, making for a lot of movement. As far as I know, the 70 was fully staffed.
