Skywest get midwest flying.

Good point, I agree you can't have it both ways...Anyways I will continue to uphold the bar. But you know the cost is not always the case...Maybe the quality of the planes are a problem... Maybe this will drive AWAC upgrade to under 2 years...hopefully

Congrats SkyWest! The places to be at are SKYW and RAH (regionals that is)

Why is that, because their growing thanks to their spineless pilot groups?

Our EMB 50 seater program is growing mold on the shelves at the training center right now. It was approved(can't remember dates.....2000 mabye), order was placed(then canceled......after 9/11) and it seems mother Midwest doesn't feel we have what it takes apparently to operate our own aircraft.

I'll see if I can find any old info.........................

Hmmm, let's see.. Give %2 increase spread out to 4 years and no salary increase to BROs and get 20 more additional airplanes making you money. Those people who didn't even vote at all in the pay increase make me sick.

Jet servicing to stay

Midwest Express and Skyway Airlines will maintain their new jet aircraft in Milwaukee, but they may use the planes to start or expand service elsewhere, airline spokeswoman Lisa Bailey said Wednesday.
What routes the planes fly is tied to the fate of a property tax exemption for state-based airplanes that is pending in the Wisconsin Legislature, Bailey said.
On Tuesday, Midwest Express announced plans to buy 20 Boeing 717s, with options for 30 more. Skyway, its commuter partner, will purchase 20 Embraer regional jets, with options for another 20. Both carriers are owned by Midwest Express Holdings Inc., Oak Creek.
Altogether, the planes will require the addition of about 1,000 people to Midwest Express Holdings' staff of 3,354, Bailey said.
Maintenance workers will be added in Milwaukee, she said. Crews will be based in Milwaukee and Omaha, Neb., where Midwest Express has hubs. The airline is also building a hub in Kansas City, Mo., but Bailey said the company has no plans to base crews there "in the foreseeable future."
However, additional customer service agents, baggage handlers and other staff needed to deal with planes when they are on the ground will be added in proportion to where the new service is provided, she said.
The 717s are to start joining the Midwest fleet in March 2003, with the Embraers coming to Skyway a year earlier. The planes will be used to expand service on existing routes and start service to new cities.


It's vague(sp?), but you get the picture.

3000 by the end of 07'

This will give Skywest Airlines (not INC.) 290 airplanes, this explains why they wanted 3,000 pilots by the end of 2007! In all Skywest Inc. will have 440 airplanes and 4,500 pilot by the end of 2007. This makes Skywest Inc. -Target and Republic-Wal-Mart and Mesa K-Mart.

2%??? Sadly, it's only 1 %!
