DCI Winds of Change

[lookin4better]

Looks like a STL based airline will be flying for DCI (700's).

Regional/feed/contract/supplemental flying is just contract work and was never "your" flying in the first place.

Realize that and this is easy work.

It is just business.

GoJet?

GoJet?

You mean TSA?

I find myself wondering more and more if it isn't about time for SkyWest inc to tell mother D thanks but no thanks and go do their own thing.

You mean TSA?

I dunno. GoJet's HQ is in STL, too. It still sucks.

No kidding. Probably wouldn't end well, but at this point the old formula isn't working either.

 

[lookin4better]

GoJet?

Kidding... who knows...

The other stuff is true though.

Cmon... you have to know contracts continually change from mainlines to the carriers that supplement their flying.

Like I said, it's just business.

Remove the emotion and it's common sense.

All flying belongs to the mainline carriers and they can do with it as they see fit. It is "their" flying, no one else's.

To become another INDY air. how that work for them?

 

[WMUSIGPI]

Performance is going to suck for anyone having to do a lot of flying out of ATL.

Try having more and more shifted to JFK (and not even having a reserve base/ spare planes there to clean up the daily messes that is FAA flow conrtrol.)

GoJet. It is official.

No dufus. I think SkyWest is smart enough to know you can't run an airline with CRJ 200's. Jeez.....

It's easy to be cold and calculating when it's not your job that's being affected.

It's easy to be cold and calculating when it's not your job that's being affected.

It's reality.

Plenty of "growth" at regionals was a the "expense" of pilots jobs at mainline carriers. Yet I bet no one was sulking at the regionals when upgrades were occurring fast at others expense.

Regional flying comes and goes based on mostly financial factors. It is just reality, not cold or calculating.

It is just contract work, and contracts change or go away on occasion.

That being said, I sure hope no one loses their job.
