SKYW 4th Qtr 2013 Results
Can you please point me to the news release stating Xjet was in bankruptcy? Also when Skywest acquired Xjet all the CPA's were renegotiated by Skywest Inc. PS Xjet was never in bankruptcy. -

Prefbid vs flightline----CDO's
That's an easy fix.....call in fatigued if enough of us on both sides (erj/crj) do that then this terrible practice will come to a quick stop. -

New ASA/XJT JCBA rumor....
Thanks Centralpilot for correcting him. I wish more pilots would actually learn the RLA process and how it works. We will never agree to arbitration that's a no win option. Maybe they had another session with the Mediator from the NMB. -

New ASA/XJT JCBA rumor....
Hey Joe you forgot a few message boards. Hurry up and die old man. You have way too much bitterness in you. -

Future Prospects Ahead for Legacy ASA
Only difference is weight other than that it's the same aircraft. Our type ratings don't even have the 135 on it only the 145. Same plane, no extra training costs. -

Expressjet growing?
What happens if you pick up a sweet nap? Is it add pay or go towards bringing your line value up to 75. In talkin with your peers in IAD it's not add pay. It is for us. Get educated -

PBS is coming to Express Jet
WTF? Who told you this? I drop a trip off my line I lose the value, I trade into a lower value trip it decreases my line value. If you are referencing our vacation drop language then yes. You bid your vacation and a trip touches either side it's dropped and you are pay protected. They can... -

ASA/XJT New Name
Why is that? Because they are representing their pilot group and making sure that they don't go backwards in their contract? Time to stop acting like a bunch of 14 year old girls. You do realize who the real enemy we are fighting? I am so sick of listening to the BS from both sides of the... -

Lakes Upgrade
I can attest to upgrade training at Lakes being tough. I went through upgrade there in spring of 2009. You do 3 days of ground school ( with recurrent guys), then 5 days of he!! in the obomination they call a sim. If you're lucky enough you do 80% of your type ride in the sim. If not off to the... -

ASA training dept. rumor
The problem with setting the your sights lower is that equates to a pay concession for the Xjet side. We have already gone down that road before. All of this doesn't really matter after the schedule meltdown we experinced the last couple of days. A few more management failures like this and... -

Do ya think ASA CEO in DENIAL?????
My job is to show up and fly a plane. ASA/Skywest knew what they were getting when they purchased us that's their problem to deal with. I will not vote yes for a contract that doesn't get my pay concessions back plus an increase. I will also never vote yes for anything that degrades our work... -

Skywest Pay Vote in Effect
Well, this recalled Xjet pilot is ready to "go to the mattress's" if needed. Just so you know not everyone hired at Xjet was a 600hr wonder kid. Some of us are going back with close to 6000hrs. I love your arrogance, go back and drink some more kool aid -

Larger Flight School Closes Doors

Great lakes furloughs.... $ for approach charts
Vavso, I flew for AMF out of OAK. My favorite route to fly was OAK-CIC-RDD-1O5 go hang out at the crew apartment. The afternoon was 1O5-RDD-CIC-MYV-SAC-OAK. That's 9 legs a day, 5 days a week. On an avg VMC day that was 4-5 hours of flying. If it was IMC anywhere from 6-9 hours. My worst... -

Great lakes furloughs.... $ for approach charts
What he is trying to say is we don't keep our brain bags (flight cases) in the cockpit with us. We have no room. We have a box at the end of the center pedestal which we have to store our books in. WE have to fit all of the stuff he mentioned. The FOM and FSM are usually stored behind the... -

Great lakes furloughs.... $ for approach charts
Yes, FO's don't have plates. What's the big deal? Review the plate and, carry on. Also, what's wrong with flying with no auto pilot? Did it when I was a freight dawg. Is it unsafe for all the freight guys flying chieftains or BE99? Flyran15, let me guess you were one of the FO's I heard... -

ALPA Lanyards at CJC
No, no, please explain it to me. I am an Xjet'er and, want to know how the union is causing the company to go bankrupt? Did we sign the new CBA with CAL? or have any input into it? Did we say no to the Skywest deal? Please explain to me how it works. -

Expressjet was banned from Mexico?
Also, that bill isn't paid by XJT but, by momma CAL. The cover the bills for our COEX flying. -
