Skywest, Expressjet and SLC flying

[Willy21]

Sorry to add a little fuel to the fire, but ASA will be back in SLC this Summer.

Things will be back the way they are supposed to be. I don't care whether you talk to me or not. See you this Summer!

Ba, Bye!

If that happens can I come back and move in with you and mom? Maybe ASA will hire me back.

I thinks its sad/funny that pilot groups fight with each other for what is essentially scope. Like any pilot anywhere had anything to do with routes, bases, aircraft, scope. So get pissed at the pilot group, it shows your intelligence.

I think the hatred you speak of towards a pilot group comes when some pilot groups like Mesa and SkyWest take a substandard contract and refuse to unite with the rest of the industry. Then we suddenly see RFPs come out and their airline underbids everyone and captures the flying. Then our companies come to us asking for concessions.

Who cares about any of this? Just grab a flyrod and go fishin. That takes care of it for me.

Boo hoo. Have some Kool-Aid. Business is business. Wow, look at all the Walmarts, Targets, Best Buys etc that have put ma and pa stores out of business. Look at the corporations that go oversees and put the US factories out of business. Um, capitalist society, I suppose. What's your point again?

So that makes it ok i guess.. Whatever lets you sleep at night. Just as long as all you scabs don't ever have any aspirations to fly for a unionized carrier. Must be something in the water out there

Hey,

I'll be back this summer and I'll take you up on your trout fishing offer. But please, no Kool-Aid!

Look at their history of putting other companies and pilot groups out of business.

Really? Which ones?

If I had a buck for every time I've heard this. I guess it doesn't count that I know of 7 SkyWest pilots in the last month that got hired on at a major (ALPA no less). Yup, working for SkyWest is a dead end job with no hope of getting hired anywhere else. TOOL.

Sure thing, I will leave the Kool-Aid at home and bring a 12 pack of the one and only, Moose Drool or some Scapegoat Pale Ale. Ugh, I miss drinking that Pale Ale down by the river breathing in that fresh clean Montana air while basking under that Big blue Sky. <sigh>

If another pilot nods at you as you pass in the terminal in SLC, they aren't based in SLC. That base is like a whole different company

So true. It's a huge base, and yet they just KNOW you're not from there. You might as well be wearing women's underwear over your uniform when you walk in the crew lounge with all the strange looks you get.

On another note, some of you guys are starting to sound like a broken record on the non-union issue. Give it up already. Mesa underbids everyone. Way to go ALPA, what with your solidarity and all that. Oh yeah, the pilots don't have anything to do with RFP's. How easily I forget. Must be the koolaid rotting my brain.
