Could SkyWest even handle more flying if awarded NWA?

[i fly boxes]

Lets see, 17 900's for delta, 700's from asa for delta, and now on top of that 12 700's from comair for delta. That is a lot of pilots and from what it sounds like, they are already short pilots and close to hiring street captains for the bro. I think it might be time to stop growing for awhile.

 

[It will roll]

I really dont think they will be hiring street captains for the bro. Last I looked there were about 130 bids in for Bro CA. Lots of guys arn't jet snobs and would rather be a 2nd year Bro CA than a RJ FO. I'll be putting my bid in for Bro CA as soon as I have the flight time.... Live in a warm California city and fly t-props in and out of SFO/LAX all day and windsurf on your days off while making some descent coin? Crap...I'm in.

Yes. I am aware its 2:32 and I might have spelled "descent" wrong. Sue me.

Rumor has it the New Mins are 850 TT. ?????????????

 

[MarineGrunt]

Nope. You can INTERVIEW with 850 if you went through allatps. Gotta have 1000tt for ground school.

 

[Nightrain_080]

The 850 TT is a rumor, I know what the Mins are today...

 

[MarineGrunt]

Yeah, I was thinking thats where the rumor might have came from. It seemed to surface here a few weeks back...

 

[Socalplt]

Still believe the 12 Comair 700s are up in the air on who'll operate them. It could be ASA.

No actually skwest is in. There is plenty of flying to be transfered from the mainline to the regionals, enough for every regional pilot. The fact of the matter is though any carrier receiving aircraft besides Mesaba is going to get the mainline furloughs to go with it. Do skywest pilots want to fly for NWA if it means 500+ pilots may be displaced as a result? Do they even have a choice?

Hey, so I was wondering, are Untied and Continental going to merge as well. Come on Ms. Clio, let me know what you think.
