jerry has a dog in the fight but no say.
skw is just a contracted feed provider.
ual/cal is making money.
Scope could partially kill him off, (and everyone else)
Do you guys realize that SkyWest is in a LONG TERM contract with United? In excess of 10 years for most of the airframes from the DOS. If United were to terminate the contract to bring the flying in-house, they'd have to essentially pay SkyWest as if they had flown those years for United. It would cost United millions if not billions to do so. This reason alone is why it's never going to happen...that is unless the UAL/CAL pilots intend to concede millions-billions of dollars in wages to pay for it. I'm guessing not, but who knows?
Scope would not rescind the 10 year agreement but would limit the air frames and reduce or eliminate them as the contract comes due. It's not, "all or nothing" but a decrease over time, Just a thought. Either way, regional feed is about to shrink.
Jerry is the only one with a check account at big, and with oil going no where but up, e's the only one with money to loan United. With that said, he's going to ensure that as much of his flying is protected...
The important thing is to keep telling yourself that is true. Once you say it enough times you will actually believe it.Do you guys realize that SkyWest is in a LONG TERM contract with United?
