CRJ-1000 for Skywest??

[Coloaviator]

I was just at Barnes and Nobles checking out the the newest issue of Airliners magazine. There was an article in it about Skywest and JA wanting to start a Skywest brand of flying with CRJ-1000's. The article mentioned he is very interested in how ExpressJet is doing or does and starting an operation similar to it with the CRJ-1000. It said this would alllow them to diversify their operation. Sounds crazy to me!!

In the article Jerry didn't specify that SkyWest would use the CRJ 1000, just a 100 seater. Starting a LCC is something that SkyWest management has looked at for a long time. I think they are constantly seeking new business models since as most of us know the regional airline model is rapidly changing.

That's pretty much what jerry told my class a few weeks ago. He said that they have looked at the CRJ-1000 and possible uses for it. He said there is no plan to buy them, just seeing what options are out there.

I will go ahead and get it out of the way, It Wont Work!! Look at FLYI!! Just thought i would throw that out there since we at XJT have heard it enough!!:nuts:

That plane is a joke (so is the 900). Nothing like 100 people standing around a snowy ramp waiting for their valet checked bags.

 

[CheeseDick]

It'll be 319's

 

[skystud25]

yeah, I can see the RJ-1000s at SkyWest. Since you'll never get a split payscale out of Jerry and Co., I imaging the bull*hit override will be another 1% on top of the weak RJ-700 override. Whoopideedoo!!! Maybe they'll use them at their new ATL base for DL! Let the continued marginalization of ASA continue!!!

The B1900 is much better. You can't take a leak or a drink. The best thing about it is you're the fo and fa at the same time. I guess your so busy doing double duty you've never seen a jetway hooked up to a 200/700/900 before.

 

[35khighpjc]

but if the 1000 materializes with Skywest, will they still only pay it like a 50 seater?

whats the difference from the 900...is the 1000 longer?

Her we go again!!! Go jerry! there are still some low time CFIs out there somewhere to hire!!! we need more!!!!!!:smash:

 

[tuna pimp]

Why would Skywest go out an buy a fleet of 100 seaters and then go deploy them on top of either Delta's or United's routes (or major O&Ds)?

Why would they bite the hand(s) that feed them? Does not make any logical sense to do this.

 

[Weasil]

They stated in the last conference call that they were looking into a way of branching out.

 

[XPOO]

Why stop at a 100-seater? Why not just go for the whole she-bang and option for a few B-73-800s?

All it takes is another certificate. That is one reason why the SkyWest guys need to consider getting orgainized. Just because they always have been the winner of the whipsaw game does not mean they will always be the winner. In fact, with longevity, winning the whipsaw game becomes less and less likely.

 

[CFIT]

SkyWest is actively working on another certificate as we speak.

Maybe this is what Ron left for??

Great, I hope you guys compete against us directly too, so we can pound you. Or maybe you can compete with Orenstein and bring RJs to China...You would have the cost advantage---CRJ-1000s with Emb-120 rates! Ah heck, it's all about growth, right boys? If we ever get 100 seaters at DL (good chance), we will take back a lot of the Montana flying from SLC I bet....Maybe SkyWest knows something..?? Good luck with your own airline flying...

Its not a 100% override. Its an over block override. This means that if you go over block you get paid the extra percentage on the time over block only.

Not that I need to defend Skywest, but I just feel the need to call out a hypocrite. I recall a few months back when jinny lee voted in his pay cut, but defended it by saying that he would be making more because he would be able to upgrade.

Nice!

What a dork!

Is it about growth or isn't it jinny.

Personally, I don't care one way or the other, but you are a hypocrite.

Just like you pounded Air Tran? It was all of your yes votes on TA's giving up scope that allowed this to happen. (Those TA's also screwed your Furloughs longer, but that is another matter..)

Ahh, The General.... Enduring proof that Delta's psych eval needs a bit of tweaking. Tell me, General, does it make you feel better about yourself to spit on the little guy, or do you just feel the need to piss on everyone other than Delta. Believe me, as an ASA guy, I really have no particular respect for the way Skywest does business. However, I'll stand with any Skywest guy any day against your pompous, self-important, lunatic ravings. Most of us grew out of our bully stage somewhere in high school and then grew up to regret the way we used to belittle other people. You, on the other hand, still seem to have the mentality of a pimple-faced 16 year old boy looking for someone just a little more awkward than himself to pick on in the hope that the cool kid may, just may, throw him a bone. You really are a pathetic excuse for a human being. Honestly, man, you need to give that self-proclaimed "hot wife" of yours some BJ lessons because you, my man, are one uptight ass.

Wow...that's HUGE!!:laugh:

None of that is correct, but you know that and are just trying to stir sh!t in gina lee's mouth.

After BILLIONS in losses, THOUSANDS of layoffs and severe cuts in SALARIES and BENEFITS. Delta JUST came out of bankruptcy... don't get cocky yet!

That's a nice visual, but have you flown on a CRJ700 or CRJ900? The floor is lower, the windows are higher, the seats are bigger, and best of all the overhead bins are too. You CAN fit most rollerboards on no problem.

-------

100 seat flying for 50 seat pay? Now you're talking management's wet dream.

Not throwing rocks at the hornets nest but how exactly does the override work?
