Why is that a yawn? It's not really a good sign when your company is losing money. just sayin'.

Well, apparently they have money though for Mini Indy, Aceypalooza and other feel good programs. I'm not even gonna go into the SureJet fiasco and the unnecessary displacements and training costs.

That's okay they can make all of the mistakes, we will end up paying for it anyways!! For those of you on the defense, there is a heavy dose of sarcasm in this sentence, just saying!!

Yeah man, 1000 hour PIC and I'm outta here. I'm pretty sure Delta and SWA will be begging me to work there.



I'm kind of a big deal.......

Something tells me this loss can be squarely attributed every airline under the SkyWest Inc. banner except SkyWest Airlines. Looking forward to that financial bonus check.

Don't hold your breathe. The red ink is spread around.

>>>The airline, which flies for US Airways, United and Delta, predicts a quarterly loss of $17 million to $18.5 million, or 34 cents to 37 cents per share for the three months ending Dec. 31.

SkyWest said the loss is due to a few main factors: higher maintenance, pilot training and crew costs. Altogether, SkyWest thinks these added costs will hit net income by about $12 million.

SkyWest is also bracing for bigger-than-expected losses from two international regional airlines it owns. Those losses are expected to be $5.5 million more than it originally predicted.


The maintenance expenses stem from aging aircraft issues, timing and cost of airframe inspections and engine overhauls.

The pilot training and crew costs are in part due to the company's new contract with US Airways. SkyWest started flying under the US Airways Express banner in December.<<<

Well, if Skywest Airlines does not having aging aircraft, does not require airframe inspections or engine overhauls, and is not the airline doing the US Airways Express flying, then you might be correct.

Your post is very inflammatory and divisive. Most of the Skyw crews i come in contact with during a trip are very friendly and cordial. I believe you represent the minority over on that side.

At Riddle they told us 1000 hours was all we needed to get hired and be a captain on the 777 by 25.

Im pretty sure my degree from the Harvard of aviation schools will more than be enough to get me an immediate interview with Delta.
