Gordon Bethune:

"It's the old adage: You can make a pizza so cheap, nobody will eat it. You can make an airline so cheap, nobody will fly it. They had taken so much cost out that the value wasn't there for the average person. A watch only has value when it's reliable and consistent, and an airline only has value when it's reliable and consistent, and we were not. And we needed to become that, and no one had ever addressed that issue. It's not about market strategy. It's not about the flight attendants with a Kate Spade handbag. It's about getting there safely on time with your underwear every time you fly."

Sometimes it takes a firm slap in the face. I believe we're there. Regionals, meet accountability.

POW right in the kisser !

Of the 6 analysts following SKYW, 2 Analysts have SKYW as a STRONG BUY, and 2 as HOLD. Could get worse if any of these downgrade the stock on this info.

“I’ve never owned any stock in American Airlines or any other airline and urge you to do the same.”

Maybe not the best thing to ever exit the mouth of an airline CEO, but quite possibly the most honest. Good advice to say the least. There are always exceptions, but it's an investment rule that I'll certainly implement.
 
Folks relax. Don't read too much into the downgrade reports. It's a NASDAQ stock and easily manipulated. Raymond James, the biggest Skywest stock Market Maker is in bed with Jerry and the BOD.

Nice!! Don't worry folks. Our management is corrupt enough to keep us out of trouble. :cartman:

wall street's reaction to "SureJet", WTF are these managers thinking!!!!

You may not be far off. The Surejet episode is still being covered as early as yesterday. In a similar vein, Wikipedia has the Surejet debacle logged for future generations to amuse themselves with.
 
Surejet??
