SH is (was?) the "Director" of Aircraft Operations.

 

[Sherpa]

Perhaps he reached critical mass.

 

[twott driver]

Just remember that it doesn't matter how he got there...

So if these positions are under him, then they've created at least 3 more management positions since he got shunted out of his last job. Way to cut costs.... Create new jobs for people who apparently weren't suitable for their last job.

Mgmt jobs aren't as cool as they sound. Nor do they pay as much as pilots think.

 

[ASA_Aviator]

They do report to Scott.

So, basically, he is not skilled enough for his new job and has created two new positions to be filled by people that are actually qualified. All this to make himself look better. Plus it might have been hard to justify his Director status with nobody reporting to him.

That's how it works at SkyWest!

Remember....we have to cut costs!!

Another joke. This is not a serious company and never will be. The airplanes are a disgrace inside, no parts, no support, no decent mechanics. Yeah, we haven't had an accident yet, but it's because there are pilots who are willing to put their foot down. When things get more financially critical (they will), who knows what will happen. At least there will be more managers to come inspect the smoking hole and point fingers.

 

[Freebrd]

they call it 'empire building', surround yourself with others (who do ALL the work) and when cuts come they go, you stay

This does cut costs, since the salaries are less than the line pay to pilots who are currently doing the work.

So these jobs are going to like a Brandy, Tiffany, Courtney, or Amy. A female with no real experience in aviation save an associates degree and 150 hours in a cirrus (paid by dad), who didn't really make it past the CPL/IR and now thinks she can manage a 'major' airline.
Sweet. And recipe for more failure.

One of the requirements was the person had to be a qualified pilot on either the CRJ or ERJ.

It sounds like you guys really need a Corporate Culture Department over there - complete with a V.P., a director and at least two managers.

 

[Ops check good]

Oakum boy......
If you hate where you are so much just quit. See if the grass is really greener at any other airline. And sexist much? I know a few females that can run circles around you. Just saying...

 

[Oakum_Boy]

Oh really? Where. Love to meet one. 15 years here and haven't flown with one yet. Haven't flown with many dudes who're up to snuff either. Just saying...

15 years, wow. Maybe it's because those good pilots you never flew with moved on from a company that "you have to do all the work at" while you chose to stay. Just sayin..

"Son, your ego is writing checks your body can't cash."

That's pretty impressive. You mean to say that in probably 10,000 hours, flying maybe 5000 flights, with probably 1000+ different guys, you "haven't flown with many dudes who are up to snuff"?

You need to get your awesomeness into the training department to create some more of your greatness. What a waste of immeasurable talent.

On second thought, if you were up to snuff as a captain, everyone who flies with you should be up to snuff by the end of the trip!

Have you ever thought the problem might not be with the F/O's? If you have flown 15 years and had very few F/O's "up to snuff", I think you need to look in the mirror and I think you will find the problem.

I've been here almost 20 years (CRJ side) and have flown with very few F/O's who were NOT "up to snuff"!!
