Our financial rewards are based on individual quarterly earnings. I flew with a "minimum hours" per month CA with higher seniority than Jon who said his was $700 before tax. I'm a fly what they give me FO and my bonus was $506 gross. I imagine Jon flew a lot in Q2 = earns more = more bonus...
If you're talking about the SAPA Forums post, Jerry personally told me one thing and four days later the EXACT opposite happened (AirTran).
The fact that we refused 50 seat pay for the Q is irrelevant. If he wants them, they will be here and we'll fly them for whatever he wants to pay --...
If SkyWest is interested, they've already prepared the program and have it approved. I remember the first incarnation of the ExpressJet purchase, the E145 program was already approved and in place prior to the offer. No one knew anything about it until the announcement was made.
I have been...
200 base for now. The CPA is 14 200s with an option to upgrade to 700s. Unknown to me where exactly the aircraft are coming from.
I've heard that we're starting with 200s because we can't get a hold of any 700s (new or used) right now. Take that for what it's worth.
It's a 3 year deal. Mesa's CRJ 900 contract expires in 2015. Coincidence? I think not.
If I remember correctly, US Airways is at its max for CRJ 900s. I think they cannot bring anymore online unless others come off. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I've heard this from 3 different UAL Captains as well (in my jump and me in theirs). Except they were saying 90-100 seats. That was pretty early on in the merger, however. Not bait, just relaying my discussions. My impressions are that the UAL mid to senior pilots are just fed up and want to...
I don't think anyone indicated it was the pilots. The problem was winter weather in Houston, Chicago, and Atlanta. Coupled with heavy maintenance obligations for the CRJ200s. That simple. BR even mentioned that the fuel costs have been mitigated by successful fare increases on the pro-rate...
Do you guys realize that SkyWest is in a LONG TERM contract with United? In excess of 10 years for most of the airframes from the DOS. If United were to terminate the contract to bring the flying in-house, they'd have to essentially pay SkyWest as if they had flown those years for United. It...
It doesn't mean that SkyWest Airlines will be getting those aircraft. When Expressjet and ASA merge, the CRJ 700 is on that certificate, too, you know.
Anyone who listened to the SkyWest conference call following the purchase of Expressjet can confirm that the deal included the option for...
