Who the hell is "Skybus"???? Was that the company that started in CMH and ended there as well???? Forgive me for not knowing.
 
I hear that the loads are actually pretty good, at least the west coast destinations. They are getting their own A319s, and they have 154 (?) seats.

Pilots tell me its NOT comfortable (they ride in the back to or from the west coast, no overnights).

FAs are quitting as fast as they train them, working too hard for $9/hr.

Supposed to get stock options, but nothing in paper until a visit to the chief pilot to sign an agreement regarding not trying to bring a union in the property. No body is signing this.

Moral is already falling.
 
Don't know the load factor, but I saw a sh!tload of sheeple boarding one of their airplanes in CMH today...not on a jet bridge mind you, but up a metal ramp to both the 1 and 2L doors. Looked like a gigantic orange RJ, except far more ghetto.

I threw up in my mouth a little, then wondered how pleasurable an experience that'll be in the middle of winter or a downpour.

I certainly hope not. It's blatantly illegal for management to even ask.
 
PCL is right. Even if you do sign it. It will not hold up in a court of law.

just goes to prove that you can have all the IFE or "mood lighting" that you want, but it still comes down to the lowest ticket price. HOPEFULLY, the crap that the employees have to eat everyday will finally shut the place down!!!!
 
I saw plenty of pax boarding the STEEP front and rear airstairs of the skybust a/c yesterday in CMH, just like it was a huge RJ.

Let's take our digital camera's to CMH and take pictures of these SKYBUS Hoar's and post them on the internet. Give these tools what they deserve, infamy and noteriety. (spelling?)
 
I hope Skybus dies a quick death. The pilots willing to take those jobs for those horrible wages will have to learn the hard way.
 
Reading passenger reviews and or not pilot web boards, it sure seems that Skybus is doing fine, and the passengers love them.

There sure are some cheap people out there. It is pretty sad when people stay up all night waiting to buy a 10 dollar ticket somehwere and act like they struck gold when they get it.

I bet the passengers on that plane are pretty crusty looking. LOL

Maybe since CAL turned you down you should give Skybus a try. If they won't hire you as a pilot, you could always be a galley wench and make that sweet commission.
 
I was looking at their prices. They promise 10 seats on each airplane that will go for 10 bucks. Every flight. Some of their fares are over 300 however. Plus they do not connect out of Columbus onto their other destinations. You have to go get your bag and check back in. On the website they even say that it is pretty tight doing that way. May they be destined for failure.

Thanks ACA turds!

Quite a rash generalization. All 2,000+ pilots who, at some point in their career, walked through the doors at ACA are now turds at Skybus.

Let me guess, all Arabs are terrorists, too.

Sounds bout right.

Except for ALL the ones that are against the radical elements of their religion. Is that like 4 or 5?

Silence is a cowards round about way of endorsement.
 
AT ACA? BAHAHAHAHAHA!!

One of you turds is correct though, not ALL Blueridgers bought there jobs, therefore not ALL ACA'ers are turds,

but all who bought jobs ARE turds, got it turdbusboy?
