superjet said:I was wondering if anybody would care to speculate as to what/where Skywest will be as an airline 5, 10, even 20 years from now. I was just wondering about growth, aircraft type, and route structure???
Heavy Set said:I predict Skywest will be very profitable. How can't it be profitable if its pilots are accepting SUCH LOW WAGES? In 5 years Skywest will be operating Delta's cast off MD88s, 737-300s and older 757s and paying its pilots CRJ-200 wages... Plenty of money left over for management.
Steveair said:Umm... the proposed rate increase was rejected champ. SkyWest pay is terrible for the first year but I believe it's higher than any other regional the second year. Believe me, we're trying for better rates. Stop whinning about SkyW and use that energy to to get better wages at your company.

Just like Walmart, Skywest can now put competitors out of business with tactics of questionable legality and deplorable ethics.
Then it can squeeze suppliers (that is: employees) with a "take-it-or-leave-it" approach.
And you think wages are low now!
We don't fly 90-seaters. Worry about yourself, we'll worry about ourselves, the industry will take care of itself.vantra69 said:They really are Walmart. Funny how a non union carrier, bottom feeder if you will, flies the 90 seaters for the same pay as a 50 seater. Real smart pilot group over there. Way to help the industry fellas.
