If that happened and ALPA policy did not prevent the company from doing this then we would have no choice. However, you will not see ASA pilots on here bragging about taking XJT jobs. Now Skywest jobs, well that is another story! You guys will get your due in time, Karma is a funny thing.
 
again pilots speculate, love it how you guys seem to know how to run or even pretend to understand how things work.....nice.
as for the jumper, you should have kicked that *********************************** off (if its true)
Please don't bash the pilot group because your nervous about what could happen.

just kick them off if they act like asses.
simple really.

Who is on here boasting about taking Xjet flying?! Find me some evidence, the only thing that i've seen so far is people like you coming on here and claiming we are on here boasting about taking jobs. As for your last sentence if Skywest ever begins to lose jobs(companies don't last forever) ASA would also probably be in the same situation, because guess what yes thats right we work under the same umbrella. The sad thing is i voted for APLA in the last drive and use to be an ALPA member. Unfortunately the idiocy of its members is starting to make me think otherwise.

Most xjt pilots don't care who owns our airline as long as we can retain some job protection. The current offer from skw provides no job protection after 12 months. If you read the posts on our forum you'd find the vast majority aren't "hoping" for a buyout with skw's current offer.

I agree if you think its bad then turn it down. Also i was not claiming the VAST MAJORITY wanted a buyout re-read my post and its says "quite a few people" not a vast majority.
 
As a SkyWest pilot, I wish everyone the best of luck in these crazy times. It certainly shows a great lack of class and judgement to request a jumpseat under the circumstances stated in the beginning of this thread. Please consider the actions of these people as individual decisions, and not indicative of the pilot group as a whole. Our airline has many great people, and some not so great (I suppose no airline is immune.) I truly wish for the best for every pilot out there, be they at ExpressJet, ASA, or any other carrier, and that includes those still sore about the ALPA drive.

With that said, I don't understand the hesitance of XJT's management to strike up a deal. Wait, maybe I do, because while the first thing to go might be the branded flying, the second thing to go will probably be the XJT management team.

Best of luck to all, and for the record, I have zero desire to fly an ERJ, and I'm actually pretty excited about the prospects of a Bro upgrade.

They have their golden parachutes all packed and ready to go. I don't think that is the reason.

And I agree with you sir. I don't recall suggesting you claimed anything other than what your post stated. You wrote that quite a few xjt pilots want skw to take over and I replied that the vast majority do not. There have been many posts suggesting xjt pilots would be stupid to vote no but most don't even know the deal we've been offered.

What's so funny about threads like this one is that, if one goes by what is said here on flightinfo about SkyWest pilots, you'd think that we were the miscreants of the airline world. However, in real life, my interactions with crew members of other airlines (including ALPA-represented majors, mind you) have generally been very cordial. (The majority SLC Delta crew members excepted, but I get the impression that it's just the general air of superiority that they try to put on and I don't take it personally. And then again, a lot of SKW SLC crew members seem to need to be disabused of the same notion.)

NO DOUBT.

And I'm based here.

Can't get people to look me in the eye and smile to save a life!

Seriously! I'm SLC based too. Everyone I see in a pilot or FA uniform I try to make eye contact with and say "hi." (And that turns out to be mostly SKW people.) I'd say about 25-30% of the time I get a response. It drives me crazy!! Have you ever been to DEN? The crews there are so friendly. There's a lot we could learn from them!

SLC is the only base that is like this.

They are ALL a lot nicer...especially the smaller ones.

The 25-30% that say hi back aren't based there. SLC is an entirely different world

By using my post as your quote, you are insinuating that I did such. I am the last one who needs a lesson in grammar. The explanation I was looking for was as to why you utilized my post as your quote, when misuse of grammar didn't exist in it.

Its because you are stupid and you don't really understand what is going on. Move along, son, you bother me.

What a tool !!! You have that `my dad is better than your dad mentality`. Snap out of it and grow up.
By the time you realize that there is more to life than flying your little RJ you will realize that we are all just flying airplanes for a living.:puke:
