Yes, the training dept. has always been a good source of information, ALMOST as good as FI.

Even if this was true, how is that Skywest's fault. They don't own XJT (yet).

Your branded operation is bleeding from the heart! Whether Skywest Inc buy Xjet or not sounds like a furlough is inevitable.

Nice first post. So are you Shineydiscoballs too?

Seriously, as others have said: Skywest has nothing to do with any furloughs ... since they have no ownership nor authority over ExJet.

Damn skw pilots, how dare they furlough xjt pilots, and close those west coast bases.

While taking 29 of their aircraft and operating them with SKW pilots and offering furloughed XJT pilots preferential interviews at SKW and then having the ability to bid on the rest of the XJT flying and take those aircraft as well in 12 months.

XJT did the same thing for ASA. Took our Base, then offered preferential interviews to those who got kicked out.

Sounds similar to the Midwest/Skyway/Skywest fiasco.

I understood that ASA did NOT lose ANY aircraft out of that deal. Is that not correct? I know for sure that XJT did NOT take ANY of ASA's aircraft.

You guys are really reaching on this one. How is it SKWs fault your branded is going south?

Most of which upgraded in less than a year - much sooner than they ever would have at ASA.

ASA lost 4 700s, ships 701, 702, 703, and 705 after SLC closed down. They have since been re-registered at SkyWest.

ASA didn't lose any aircraft after LAX closed, but at about the same time our block hours went down substantially. I don't fault the ExpressJet pilots since our management knew going into the LAX base that it would be a temporary thing (they just didn't communicate that to the pilots).

Ok, USCTrojan just made it seem otherwise and that XJT was offering ASA pilots preferential interviews because of lose of aircraft due to XJT gettting the DAL LAX flying.
