Herd in the crew lounge this morning that SkyWest lost the RFP for all ground handling in Montana to Comair?
. Everything will be moving to RAH eventually.

What do you mean? Why do you say that?
Because if Delta has the power/ability to make money on their operation, they will. DAL is combining Mesaba, Comair and Compass ground handling into RAH ground services. These ground stations make money for their respective Carriers. Delta wants it. Can't blame them for it. Performance won't matter, only $$$ does.

Ah! you mean RHS! Yea i agree with you. That the whole purpose of it. They want to take control of all ground handling
I heard that DAL was taking over Montana...but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Rumor has it that DAL wants to take over all ground handling in SLC...if true, that will impact hundreds of SKW ground employees.
I had a former SkyW Regional Mgr, who was let go and is now at ASA as a Reginoal Mgr. on my jumpseat. (yes, he was given permission by Scott Hall). He told us this scenario could possibly and will likely happen.

Anybody want to guess why DAL would do that? I talked to some DAL guys while jumpseating...they seemed to think that DAL was just trying to preserve jobs for it's own employees. My concern is that DAL is laying the groundwork to boot SKW out of SLC. Not sure if ATL and SGU are getting along well these days...
