Ok well the net profits are predicted by Jerry Atkin, not me Mr. Lifer. Read the Inc financials once in a while and you'd know that. In there they mention mainly unexpected CRJ MX costs for the losses if I remember correctly.

Steve is a standup guy. We put together a sub committee and actually researched many new bidding systems, yours according to our union isn't going to do as good of a job as others. Did you put together a committee to research ours and others? Can I see ya'lls report? There is a big report out regarding this. I believe them. Why would a senior guy like Steve lie? He's someone everybody over here trusts. Your union can't even keep their mouth shut regarding negotiations when they are supposed to be kept confidential.

Doesn't matter. Fact is profits are predicted in 2012 by Inc. which is what I said. And fact is the ERJ operation is growing while the CRJ has shrunk. A management guy spoke to my upgrade class last month and said this is because we're more efficient than the CRJ side. But sure, keep thinking we're killing the company you numbskull.

The ERJ side is more efficient because it is larger, and hence spreads the costs over more aircraft, and more pilots. In addition (and probably more prevelant) is the MUCH longer stage length averages for the ERJ. This also reduces cycles on the airframe, gear, engines, apu, etc.

How much longer are the contracts on the CRJ's good for on the Delta side? Can Delta just suddenly park 200's or are they under contract for so many years?

Rest of the Delta RJs under contract til 2017 per the Skywest Inc purchase agreement

Skip ExpressJet. Try SkyWest first. They are the favored child. You will also gain from the limited benefits of ALPA without paying union dues.

Slywest is just riding the coat tails of XJT and ALPA.

Its ironic that we have a union, yet Skywest pilots have higher W2s on avg. Even with the dreaded Brad Holt Override 700/900 pay.

If management offered a merger with Skywest in exchange for dropping the union, wonder how the vote would turn out

Do they? Provide proof, please.

Maybe W2s are a little bit higher but our PBS, reserve and scheduling are pretty bad compared to XJET. From what I read here you guys (both carriers) have a much, much better bidding system. Most of us would drop a buck an hour to have either of your bidding systems and the XJT Vac policy.

Not according to JA himself.

Not according to JA himself.

I was talking about ASA pilots. XJT pay and benefits is on a whole nother level(higher)

 

[CFIT]

Not according to JA himself.

I've been with SkyWest for over 20 years, JA says what he needs, it may not be the truth though.

And I've said it before, if an independent union front was pushed, not ALPA, there would be a lot of interest. One list for SkyWest would be a hugh benefit for us all (all of the regionals), but it seems it is designed by ALPA not too happen.

ALPA serves itself, not the pilots, especially not the regionals.

Granted, but it was said in context of concession discussion that included the elimination of our B fund, implementation of PBS, a 4% pay cut, and 4% of other concessions in the form of work rule changes after they've had a chance to read our contract more thoroughly. All this to bring us in line with what Skywest has. So maybe he was lying literally to my (our) face. But there was empirical data behind what he was saying.

ALPA serves what ALPA pilots want it to serve. An independent would have the same membership regardless of the letters that make up the name and would vote the same leaders regardless. ALPA in the current form represents the profession better than any independent in existence right now, especially the regionals!

Good to work for - Yes.
Finacially - Owned and run by SkyWest Inc. Better off financially than any other regional. Projected to gain a net profit of $35ish million in 2012 so we're making money too.
Morale- As good as it can be considering contract negotiations are ongoing.

I would choose either ExpressJet or SkyWest over any other regional airline.

Wow, nice, Lind... Finally like skyw...

In other news, for those of you who haven't received a first class medical since 2002, you can now log onto AOL or any other internet service provider and pre-submit your FAA form 8500-8 prior to receiving your current year's FAA physical....

Neat-o, gang!


Pertinent as always, Scottay.... can I call you "tay"?
