Well considering the contracted ground handling in PHX, there is a good place to start on the performance of SkyWest in PHX
WHAAAAAAAAT????? Mesa uses the same ground handling, so I don't follow you there. Plus "controllable D0" and "controllable completion" figures take station delays out of the equation. Many of the outstations have been expressing their frustrations about Skywest performance. One manager yesterday said he wished Mesa would do all of their flights because his station was dealing with frequent delays and cancellations on Skywest flights. He also had some other complaints that I wont relay here. Until recently I figured most of what I was hearing was rhetoric until I saw some numbers for myself and started having station personel start asking a bunch of questions and expressing frustration.
That said, I recently had to deadhead on a Skywest flight out of PHX and thought the crew did a really nice job and (this time) was friendly and professional. I certainly don't wish them out of a job or anything... but at the same time, I would personally not care to be there myself. I have nothing against 90% of their crews... its that other 10% that gives the group a bad reputation.
