    Skywest talking pilot pay raise

    Have you ever got "reflowed" on a day off? At my company reflow and JM are two totally different things. Reflow is an unscheduled change to a trip. It could be a change in the destination for an out and back or an extra trip tacked on during a long break. Typically a reflow would occur due to...

    Skywest talking pilot pay raise

    I've found that's not always the case. Sometimes it's just a concession here and a concession there with no strings attached. Oh wait a minute. You used the word "negotiate." By definition if your reps are giving concessions with nothing in return that's not really negotiating, is it?

    SkyWest PDX or FAT trip

    ...and if much of the flying is performed by crews from other bases does making good pairings get easier or harder?

    Who has left ASA for SkyWest?

    I'm done on this thread. If anyone really thinks I've advocated a staple PM me and I'll be happy to come up with some links that will help with your understanding of the use of sarcasm and analogies in writing.

    Who has left ASA for SkyWest?

    When will you people learn to read? Here's what I said taken right out of my post that you quoted: "To me a staple is just as reasonable a solution as DOH. So yes there is some sarcasm there. I figure if an ASA guys pushes for DOH we should be pushing just as hard for a staple since neither...

    90s diverted to Skywest

    Sure would be nice if this guy had the guts to put his name on the post. Pathetic and an embarassment to his colleagues. It's one thing to say you might face extreme pressure (fly or be fired) but to gloat over flying struck work is disgusting. I guess you don't have a single union member in...

    Who has left ASA for SkyWest?

    I'm not much for comparing IQ's. Childish if you ask me. As far as business credentials go I've owned a small corpration in the past and I currently have a side business that puts more money in my pocket than flying does. If you can find a post where I advocated a staple I'll give you $100...

    Brasilia type or not?

    The type rating without PIC time means little to anyone. Save your money.

    90s diverted to Skywest

    SKYW didn't own Comair. SKYW owns ASA There would be significant financial implications that were not present during the CMR strike.

    Skywest to Hire in ATL

    If SKYW opened a base everywhere they've had a job fair there would be 20 or 30 more bases. Unless ASA is doing a lot of hiring they probably don't need a job fair to dig up some applicants.

    ASA closer to a strike

    I'm not positive but I think the Alaska pilots were victims of binding arbitration. Whether the arbitration was binding or not they sure got hosed.

    90s diverted to Skywest

    I've been bumped from a UAL jumpseat. They have the same policy. I'm not saying I agree or disagree but you need to realize it's not a unique policy.

    As appealing as that thought might be do you really want 1800 really pissed off coworkers that would like to burn the place down? The best integrations occur when neither group is overly pleased with the results. Some type of integration where everyone stays in the same percentile could work...

    Who has left ASA for SkyWest?

    Sorry N but I was responding to a variety of your posts on this and the forum where you can't hide behind a screen name. The response wasn't appropriate for that post where you just sort of lobbed an underhanded jab at me. I admit I could be mistaken that you worked for Mesa. I can't recall...

    Who has left ASA for SkyWest?

    I say you're illiterate and unable to comprehend my posts. Or the first word in your alias is describing your current state. I talk about preserving career expectations and you think I'm talking about a staple job. I'm quite aware ASA was puchased by the parent company of SkyWest. You...

    Despite all the woes of the industry.....

    Best part of the job is the people I work with. Fantastic group. I'm not just talking about the FO's and FA's either. There's some really good people in every department from MX to the ramp. Although many (most?) of us are married and have busy lives away from work we still socialize once in a...

    Who has left ASA for SkyWest?

    Hey N, When you're brand new somewhere and your total airline experience consists of 6 months at Mesa it doesn't qualify you to fully judge the situation at your new airline. Just because ALPA didn't carry your water at Mesa doesn't mean the union is useless. At least take the time to learn...

    Who has left ASA for SkyWest?

    How many aircraft did you say were transferred to Mesa? Big difference between losing block hours and overall flying versus changes in city pairs. But I'm sure you knew that. Let's try for a better analogy next time.

    Who has left ASA for SkyWest?

    How long was SLC a domicile for ASA? How many crews? How many ASA pilots were hired during the period that SLC was open? How long has SKYW had a domicile in SLC? How many crews are based there? How many SKYW pilots hired on from the time SLC opened which was probably a codeshare with Western...

    Delta to view Comair bid

    I always like to visit the shop of guys like your Granddad. I've got a lot of respect and admiration for craftsmen like that. A former neighbor of mine builds high end custom furniture. He also built a gorgeous little yacht tender. His work is literally a form of art. I wish I had 10% of his...
