What's the part about SkyWest and rev pax? I missed something.

My first reaction was to tell them to go fly one of their spare/extra Barbie Jets as a corporate shuttle, but I'm not sure if I got the entire story.

 

[jravi8tor]

skywest crew members are whinning about occupying a cabin seat when deadheading rather than the jumpseat; when most of us midwest pilots and F/A's will voluntarily give up our seat for a revenue pax.

 

[deadstick]

My first impression was that this is another issue of the growing entitlement mentality. But I'm just want to clarify something.

SkyWest really "deadheads" their crews on Midwest? Not just commuters? Well, I'd say that is SkyWest problem to get their crews to the right places for the flights or have a very good reserve program in place. SkyWest is the hired help. Take off or don't get paid. Seems like it's Midwest's business to get people to pay and sit in those seats (or move YX crews around).

Do they help with the belts? Every Midwest employee always helped us out, and I always returned to favor. I do miss it.

Excellent point, thanks for making my point, yes, they dead head their crews on us, even when they were commuting they were issued dead head passes and they kicked revenue passengers and our own commuting guys.

Do they help with seat belt? are you kidding me, the only guys who help us clean are our own, Skyway and Jetblue guys.

don't forget about the air willy guys. the majority of them who jumpseat to phl and dca do help us cleanup and cross seatbealts which says alot about their character and we appreciate it!

Beautiful.

How in the world do they get DH tickets for commuting? That would have made my life a lot easier, but I only worked for Skyway and not the Chosen One.

From what I hear, TH never helped on a SYX flight, either. Also, those JB folks that help are probably former Skyway-Exers.

 

[FlyWolf]

ok, I am in a nasty mood today and I do apologize to everyone for whatever I said.

I just finished a 3 day with a guy who was accusing me of being unfair in trying to spread the word about passing the furlough assessment and getting the % only in our merger assessment, believe me it was not your ideal 3 day trip.

Peace.

I agree, sorry for forgetting the Airwilly guys, great bunch, I am happy we can provide j/s to their FA as well.

And for once I have to congratulate the Skywest guys for actually having balls. Good for them.

Balls or just spoiled brats, dude you are an a$$, good for you go support your non alpa brothers.

 

[PCL_128]

Yes, heaven forbid someone that's on company business actually get a comfortable seat to deadhead in.

If you can't comprehend what was said in this thread already then I don't have anything else to say.

balls? they have absolutely no cahonas. their group feels everything is owed to them and their a bunch of possers. i also enjoy being told their weight restricted too when the j/s is the last seat available on skywest flights and no one can occupy it.

i feel if they want to make a statement they should follow suit with midwest pilots and flight attendants who give up seats to get revenue on. in my opinion your going above and beyond what is expected of you and "good does go around" but you already know that right?

Like someone on another east/west thread said, its beacause of people like you (PCL 128) they voted alpa down.

 

[PCL_128]

Moving deadheading crewmembers around is a cost of doing business. They should receive a comfortable seat.

Yeah, I'm sure.

most of the d/h is occuring between mke and mci which is an hour flight from wheels up to wheels down, tops.

I think PCL128 and his non alpa brothers at Skywest don't know what you'r talking about.
