Skywest Emb120 Aug 4 class date cancelled

[Goose Egg]

get use to it. this place is perpetually understaffed.

I'm used to it by now--I was awarded a 100 hour line, unbid for, back in Feb with solid red arrows and no possibility of dropping. I was commuting to FAT at the time, and between that and the Ag convention, I didn't make it home for about three weeks. My point is that the class probably was cancelled due to hotel issues and not something else.

Wonder how SKYW contract with Midwest is going to play out after their press release. Grape and Cherry on the way

That's what I'm worried about! We'll see what shakes out after Monday's announcement.

What announcement????

 

[Goose Egg]

Monday has come and gone. No announcement.

Now that's trust. Confusing for me but trusting of the real Bus Driver.

Doin' finer 'n frog hair - thanks.

By the way, SKyWest has cancelled classes based on hotel issues before. The August show is an outdoor expo that eats up most of the rooms in the city.

I guess I am trustng when it comes to my friends, strange. But those who don't trust others are the ones who know they can't be trusted. Besides, it doesn't matter too much to me, it's only "flight info".

Though it is good to hear from you again andy, I do hope everything is going well.

Just think if this was Mesa we were talking about. They would just fly in one of their airplanes and make everybody bunk inside.

Internal update strongly hints that we might have too many pilots real soon
* At risk flying in trouble - particularly in the PNW
* Midwest wants fewer RJs - no surprises here
* Reiterates Delta's desire to shed 50 seaters

"Much steeper cuts in our September schedule"

Furloughs and perhaps base reductions/closures are pretty close. They are waiting on fall schedules to decide how many need to be shed, but the bases could fall sooner.

i heard 30% furlough

Not anymore.

Hired for expected flying for a Mesa fall.....didn't happen (and won't)
Hired for expected EMB-145 program.....didn't happen.
Midwest in trouble and not looking good.
Delta wants rj cuts and will get them.
Pro-rate flying on EMB and CRJ losing money and they are about to shed much of it.

Total tally....about 400-600 pilots overstaffed in coming months. Plan accordingly.

Didn't ya get the I-share bulletin? Not so much an announcement, yet still some words to be concerned over.

My resume is dusted off.....

I just read it. There's defnitely some concern, but I don't think I'd go quite so far as to start looking elsewhere just yet. (My resume dust-off would take about 5 min anyway.) I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

There's really no way you can be sure of how many pilots we are overstaffed. As of right this minute, we are critically understaffed in the Brasilia in SLC. (I've never seen a month without most days being a red arrow, and more months than not have been solid red arrows.) We'll see how the Sept schedule plays out--only then can we be sure.
