Just a friendly reminder to Skywest Folks...

[outtahere]

Please Skywest pilots for the love of God don't include ASA into anything or any discussion that involves your pilot group. We may be owned by the same holding company, but we are definately not the same group. We at ASA have some integrity and would never let ourselves be bent over as you at Skywest have done. So go ahead and hope for the demise of XJT so that you can get your quick upgrade, (but just remember easy come easy go) just don't try to include ASA as a topic of converstation to justify the attempted rape and murder of XJT.

In the mean time, if an XJT pilot tries to give me crap and blame me as a SKW pilot I might just bitch slap his arrogant ass!

Wow! And we're arrogant!
I'd like to see you try.

 

[Long Time Gone]

I shouldn't even have to explain this to you, but....

Lose - as in, "I hope no one will lose any flying."

Loose - as in, "I hope there's no loose language in your contract."

Quite a few of you are unsure which word to use, and when, on almost a daily basis. I was insinuating that this should be a prerequisite for being hired and was meant purely in jest.

By using my post as your quote, you are insinuating that I did such. I am the last one who needs a lesson in grammar. The explanation I was looking for was as to why you utilized my post as your quote, when misuse of grammar didn't exist in it.

What deal are you talking about?

SKW buys XJT
XJT pilots fly 205 aircraft for CAL
SKW pilots fly 29 of ex-XJT aircraft for CAL
40 XJT aircraft are parked
700 XJT pilots furloughed
SKW offers furloughed XJT pilots preferential interviews
12 months later, CAL can put XJT's 205 aircraft up for bid
XJT could decide to become more "cost competative" to try to keep CAL flying
CAL could then transfer aircraft to SKW which will cause more furloughs at XJT with preferential interviews at SKW.

That deal.

Does ASA contribute to SKYW INC's bottom line...YES. ASA is as much a part of this whether you like it or not. INC could just as easily ask ASA whether or not they would like ERJ's and you're going to tell me that your MEC is going to say "no we are going to take the high road and turn them down". Haha yeah just like Xjet took the the high road and booted you guys out of LAX...right?

If that happened and ALPA policy did not prevent the company from doing this then we would have no choice. However, you will not see ASA pilots on here bragging about taking XJT jobs. Now Skywest jobs, well that is another story! You guys will get your due in time, Karma is a funny thing.

 

[yahooair]

again pilots speculate, love it how you guys seem to know how to run or even pretend to understand how things work.....nice.
as for the jumper, you should have kicked that *********************************** off (if its true)
Please don't bash the pilot group because your nervous about what could happen.

just kick them off if they act like asses.
simple really.

However, you will not see ASA pilots on here bragging about taking XJT jobs. Now Skywest jobs, well that is another story! You guys will get your due in time, Karma is a funny thing.

Who is on here boasting about taking Xjet flying?! Find me some evidence, the only thing that i've seen so far is people like you coming on here and claiming we are on here boasting about taking jobs. As for your last sentence if Skywest ever begins to lose jobs(companies don't last forever) ASA would also probably be in the same situation, because guess what yes thats right we work under the same umbrella. The sad thing is i voted for APLA in the last drive and use to be an ALPA member. Unfortunately the idiocy of its members is starting to make me think otherwise.

Most xjt pilots don't care who owns our airline as long as we can retain some job protection. The current offer from skw provides no job protection after 12 months. If you read the posts on our forum you'd find the vast majority aren't "hoping" for a buyout with skw's current offer.

I agree if you think its bad then turn it down. Also i was not claiming the VAST MAJORITY wanted a buyout re-read my post and its says "quite a few people" not a vast majority.

As a SkyWest pilot, I wish everyone the best of luck in these crazy times. It certainly shows a great lack of class and judgement to request a jumpseat under the circumstances stated in the beginning of this thread. Please consider the actions of these people as individual decisions, and not indicative of the pilot group as a whole. Our airline has many great people, and some not so great (I suppose no airline is immune.) I truly wish for the best for every pilot out there, be they at ExpressJet, ASA, or any other carrier, and that includes those still sore about the ALPA drive.

With that said, I don't understand the hesitance of XJT's management to strike up a deal. Wait, maybe I do, because while the first thing to go might be the branded flying, the second thing to go will probably be the XJT management team.

Best of luck to all, and for the record, I have zero desire to fly an ERJ, and I'm actually pretty excited about the prospects of a Bro upgrade.

They have their golden parachutes all packed and ready to go. I don't think that is the reason.
