Skywest?

[PBRstreetgang]

Question?
Why would anyone go to Skywest vs. Any other regional.
Koolaid drinkers here is your chance to shine.
Naysayers, here is you chance to illustrate.

To work where you live and not give a f(beep)ck.

I think that hiring will be strong enough at the majors to maintain good movement at all the regionals starting this year. I would concider where you want to live and look at what regional have domiclies there. Skywest is talking about a new hire/upgrade class every month for the next six months. Skywest would be my first choice unless you want to live on the east coast.

Cheers,
Scott

I loved working at SkyWest.. I think anyone can say they work with "great people" etc., but I honestly enjoyed the folks I flew with on a daily basis. Living on the west coast was, for me, a prerequisite, and that's where I was based. I had no desire to go to a major because I had no degree, and didn't want to pursue one just to do the same job I was doing. I felt that the equipment was always good, the training exceptional, and the overnights were as decent as could be considering Inyokern on the EMB! I'm not driven by money, so topping out at SW made my life very good. I had to leave to pull my family back together, and that was sad. Now, I'm able to re-join. It was a dream job for me, and I hope to go back very soon.

SkyWest has the best Dispatchers.

SkyWest has the best Dispatchers.

We did, until your favorite left us.... Walter has moved on.

 

[Stifler's Mom]

Where did he go? XPOO still there?

 

[homerjdispatch]

Not sure if he want his co-workers at his new airline to know who he is... so I better not say... Yes XPOO still here.

 

[rtmcfi]

Well, more importantly will he still frequent FI?

 

[homerjdispatch]

He may have moved on to the majors board...

Well i did 5 years at Eagle and 6 at SkyWest. Both were good. Home more at SkyWest. I like the PBS and Sked+ ... Reserve at Eagle was better..

Unless they decide to close your base in the 9th largest city in the country(with almost no notice), and then quadruple the flying in and out of it the day after it closes...

 

[CFIT]

Industry Leading Tattletaling for one.

Industry Leading Hatred by other pilot groups for another,
now including Horizon, soon to include Alaska.

 

[XPOO]

Still here.

SkyWest has the best Dispatchers.

Thanks to the best dispatch initial training curriculum. No certificate action taken in over 15 yrs is what I'm hearing. I heard every other regional has at least one a year.

Thats what ASAPs are for.

 

[Erlanger]

Skywest has only had the ASAP program for the past 3 years. How do you explain the 12 years before that?

Nevets, you're at it again. You can't stand Skywest so you have to take any positive and spin it.

 

[XPOO]

I'm sure Nevets will have no problem cashing those SkyWest checks though.

OO has had the ASAP program long before that...

 

[XPOO]

Has it been in place for 15 years? And are ASAPs the only reason the streak continues?

I work on the ASAP program and the pilot side was in place before dispatch, I've been with the program for a little over 3 years........

I can tell you that ASAP for dispatchers has been around for several years more than 3. Consensus among the oldbies runs it about 8-9 years.

No it hasnt... No where near 8-9 years... I would know that!

Well, you know oldbie memories; They get hazy. But I know it's been more than 5.

I actually wasnt taking a position one way or the other. I completely understand why someone would go to work at Skywest when considering commuting/not commuting.

I was just stating for all the other regionals that have certificate action once a year that thats what ASAP is for.

As for the best dispatch initial training curriculum, I'm sure thats what they tell everyone at all the airlines.

I'm sure Nevets will have no problem cashing those SkyWest checks though.

Oh? I thought my company was bought by ASA and not Skywest? But either way, I have NO problem cashing in my check, as long as it cashes. But I would prefer that my check did indeed come from Skywest as part of ONE airline rather than an alter ego.

 

[Nevets]

By the way, speaking of ASAPs, I've asked before with no luck but I'm wondering if ANYONE could produce the MOU for the pilots ASAP?

Im pretty sure the check will come from SkyWest, Inc., which OWNS ASA. but im sure you already knew that... SkyWest, Inc., bought ASA and ExpressJet, and also owns SkyWest Airlines.

But you already know all that...
