Jerry.... Brad... what ya got?

[V1cutsrfun]

Well, today's annoucements makes you wonder... What is it that Jerry has cookin? Deals like this don't happen over night...so a month ago when ASA announces we are shooting for super regional status and 500 planes, etc... now what? was it just to placate us? Looks like the 41 900's at mesaba/pinnacle stay for the 12 year contract... so thats those frames...

They had to know a month ago that Delta was gonna sell to transstates, pinnacle...

I cant speak for the rest of the guys here... but BH and JA better have something cookin... you can't annouce 5000 pilots and 50 states and then get 4 700's from horizon... that goodwill only lasts so long...

PCL was approached/selected by DAL to purchase XJ... they even provided the financing to make it happen.

DAL and UAL are heavy portfolios for Skywest. Both UAL and DAL watched Republic grow to a size where they purchased Frontier and operate it in Den in UAL's own hub as a competitor. UAL and DAL learned their lesson... if growth/diversity is to had for Skywest, it will need to seek AMR's Eagle or Mesa for USair. Eagle would be the more prominant choice... if UAL and CAL do merge, it could force a merger of AMR and LCC. Eagle's purchase would solidly insure a spot on that dance floor. Mesa could be left to wither on the vine, and would become a scavengers dream yard sale....

Not obtuse at all....just math...500 planes at 5 crews per should be around 5000 pilots.

5000 minus the 1600 or so that we have already... We won't be hiring 5000 pilots. Ever.

What are you talking about sir. Are you a lawyer? You should get out of flying and open up a firm. Leave the arm chair quarterbacking for the loosers. You have no idea what UAL, DAL, Skywest, CAL, AMR, LCC, Eagle, and XJ and ASA are thinking or if they "learned their lessons".

The kid who wears a helmet and eats paste tells the new kid in class what's up... You may be right, but even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then.. Shut the hell up, CX880.

Oh wait.... never thought about that...and here I was thinking when they said 50 states I thought they had discovered 50 new states and they weren't counting the ones we already flew.

Who's talking about big RJs? I double checked on airliners.net. The E175 is still a couple of feets shorter than the CRJ-700. We are all cool. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
