Is Skywest losing ground in Salt Lake City?

[Heavy Set]

I flew the owner of our CL-30 to Boeing Field (BFI---near SEA) about a week ago and then flew to PHX to see a friend for a few days before heading back to SEA, all on Delta. It turns out I flew a CR9 operated by Mesaba? I flew it from SEA to SLC, and then ONTO PHX! I thought SKW had the SLC RJ market cornered? What do the SKW guys think about Mesaba and their moving in on SKW's turf? I think I saw some other Mesaba planes (N number ending in XJ?) going to Austin and maybe Boise? Are you SKW guys flying more MSP or DTW stuff?

Everyone pretty much flies everywhere now. Mesaba in SLC, Skywest and Comair in MSP. All the flying is spread throughout the Delta system.

I think Delta is trying to move the regionals around so they don't get too comfortable and think they "own" the place. It started after the failed Comair strike in CVG, which shut down that hub for a couple months and cost DL $1 billion. Remember, they are just feed, and if they aren't doing a great job can be replaced after their contracts are up. Seamless travel, no doubt!

Hey General Lee, now that DL has wi-fi, how long do you think it will take for you to double your 13,551 posts?

My gosh!

Can't you read the signs on restroom doors?

Take your skirt wearing butt out of here and poop your hamster hair laced turds somewhere else!!

Looks like you won't ever be a "bus" Captain. Good luck on the Brasilia upgrade....???

I don't need to use the wifi on the plane. Logging On to the Regionals section on FI gives me plenty of ammo.

Given the number of Delta retirements over the next 10 years, and the complete lack of pilots entering the industry, I wouldn't be getting all "giddy" about that just yet, General. Something tells me you're going to get to fly with some fine R.J. folks over the course of your remaining career.

I'm also fairly certain that with the contract SkyWest Inc. locked into "sick Delta" with, you're going to have more than plenty of opportunities to enjoy our fine R.J. service/jumpseat for years to come- especially whilst commuting from the Gulf Coast.

But most importantly, that is clearly one of the finest barbs tossed on this board, if I do say myself.

With all the self gratification you do to yourself it's amazing your hand can reach around to pat your own back!:laugh:
