I bet A Voice of Reason and Joey would do it in 90 days or else.......

Who owns the airplanes? Until we start flying planes with our own employers' name on the fuselage we're all at the mercy of who ever owns the name that is there. .

Finally, someone understands.

(NASDAQ: SKYW) announced today that it has been selected for the first allocation of regional jet flying related to an existing Request For Proposal (RFP) by Delta Air Lines, Inc. (Delta). The first allocation of aircraft consists of 12 Bombardier CRJ700s, previously operated by Comair, Delta’s wholly owned subsidiary. The aircraft will serve markets from Delta’s hub in Cincinnati and will begin to transition to SkyWest, Inc. in February 2007.

If it does go to ASA alpa will find a way to lose it

you guys are something...because we're getting them and you're not. Wah wah wah.

It would be a whole different story if you were getting them though right?

I guess you missed the last proposal...there is a split rate.

Wah, wah...if you hate it that much...why dont' you just quit.

You make me sick.

They are all talk and no action.

I guess you missed the last proposal...there is a split rate.

If the rate on the -700 and -900 are tied to the -200 rate, it ain't a split my friend. It's an override. There is a difference.

If it were truly a split rate, a potential future pay cut on the -200 wouldn't affect the -700 and the -900, right? It would the way this is structured. Can of worms..............

Why would ASA get them, we were already giving the one's we've got to Skywest. Comair is late to the screwing party, but still invited.

I think this news just increased the probability of an ATL base for skywest.

Exactly. SkyWest Airlines will operate these airplanes. I'd bet my house on it.

 

[Tarzan]

There you go. I'm sure if its awarded to ASA they'll refuse to fly!!!!!!!!!!!

This could be interesting.

How ever did you manage to construe my reply as that? I still believe that the SW pilot group will eventually find itself in hot water. Exponential growth coupled with no legal protection will spell trouble later down the road.

I have no bones with the SW group. Have lots of friends over there and I wish them all the best. But we have got to get over this bad blood between the two pilot groups. A house divided, yadda yadda.
