SkyWest Airlines Maineline???

[BigPappa]

I believe that it is about the strangest thing that I have heard in a while. SkyWest pilots refering to themselves as "SkyWest Mainline". You appear delusional if you use terms as such.

Wow someone is taking the "mainline" joke way too serious.
The bro side is "Skywest Express" and the jet side is "Skywest mainline".
Yea a select few take it too far but it's a JOKE and not ment to be taken seriously. Like calling ASA "SkyEast".

I was thinking the same thing..what's the big idea? They can fly to Bangor all they want.

Not just the bro pilots. The 50 seat rj pilots often refer to the 70 and 90 (delta side only) as mainline.

Please use proper pronunciation when arriving in Bangor

From away: "Bang-Her"

Snobby locals: "Bang-Whore"

It's a term used by some to make the aircraft they fly not sound like the Brazillian Buttplug with props that it really is.

It's not a joke to many Skywest pilots. They're in ORD spreading the "we are mainline and you guys are feeders" to xjet pilots.

Keep drinking the kool aid and coat-tailing, but you're not main line and the pay and work rules you enjoy are the result of the xjet pilots' sacrifice and resolve in negotiations, which have been sometimes hostile. By hostile I refer to 5 years of punishment by the company during contract 07 negotiations. Hopefully the current negotiations will go smoothly. But no matter how they go, in the end you'll get get $1 more and another glass of kool aid.

You're welcome.

Think I would respond to that with something along these lines:

"No problem, now how 'bout I feed one of my cowboy boots I fly in to your ass?"

I prefer the term 'Brazildo.'

thought the 900 was referred as the "9", think to piss off the DC, uh Douglas, oops, 'Boeing' 9 of mainline fame

Do not EVER call a DC-9 a Boeing!

 

[Freebrd]

No. It's just insulting to DC-9 pilots. Ain't nothing Boeing about that thing.

Colgan used to do the same thing. It was a running joke between the Beech and the Saab drivers. The small lining of truth lay in the fact that the Quality of life for a Saab pilot was much better than that of the Beech. Quality of life being all relative.
