Midwest looking for 50 seat A/C

[SYX328]

I don't know ZW is more a candidate to pick up the YX Connect flying, now that Rankin is over there.

No chef, not a bit. I was employing an oft-used tactic called sarcasam. You missed it. You see, it's funny because your posts seem to point to:

1. Oh yeah, XJET's gettin's all 25. No less.
2. Midwest is only talking to XJET.

If you (or any of the other carriers, I think at least 5 or 6, that have meetings in Aug. with Midwest) end up with 25, we'd shut down.

I employed that sarcasm also because you just don't get it. I have more than resigned the fact that I won't be flying a 50 seater at Skyway for a while. This whole thing is mainly due to consistantly bad fleet decisions at Midwest. On top of that, if everyone hangs out until the last beech is gone, there will be furloughs. Your pomp exceeds the circumstance here. If you would have said "Sucks for you guys, I wish your pilot group could keep that flying, you are a great group", THEN ended up with our flying, fine. But you seem to act as if you could care less who sits in the front seats here. You didn't see any of us bagging on you when you all would lose 69 airplanes FOR SURE. It sounds now like you won't lose any CO flying. You really shouldn't believe anything that comes out of your CEO's mouth.

Someone talked about the hanger. Yeah, I think the plan is to get out of there and go to the Midwest hanger. I think someone has to take the lease first, otherwise we would already have moved.

Wrong CHIEF (Spelling bee dorks), I dont wish anything bad on you fellas at Skyway, but as we over here at XJT have found out lately everyone gets a Shiit sandwich at some point and we were just fed ours and are still munching on it trying not to get any stuck in our teeth. It sucks, I know. I just posted the fact that our company has a meeting. In no way did i ever say anything wishing bad things at you Skyway boys and girls. If you took it that way i apologize. This industry sucks, would you agree. Good luck to you.

XJet won't lose any CO flying eh?? On the contrary, XJET is losing 700 pilot jobs worth of CO flying. XJET will be DESPERATE to place these aircraft. They are coming at their pilots with a contract extension. Chautauqua and Continental are screwing XJET now they will have to try to screw someone else (skyway, eagle, transtates, whoever) to survive. Sucks for you guys, I wish your pilot group could keep that flying, you are a great pilot group.

Yeah, I posted that about a couple of hours before I read the news. Good luck to you guys, I have a couple of friends that left Skyway for there and now might get furloughed. The fickle finger of fate. Thought your outcome would have been a bit better.

Oh and BTW Superpilot, I know how chief is spelled. I did that to see if you caught your first attempt. You didn't. Remember, I before e and except after c.

Yea they need no help in getting screwed, they are pretty much screwing themselves.

Sorry I have been away. I was getting a sleeping bag

Skyway!

With everything that's going on it's interesting that Airlinepilotcentral shows Skyway as hiring again? Anyone know how many or possible class dates? Thanks

None. Did you not understand any of this? Right now we have 230 pilots. If we get rid of the 1900's, we'll be down to about 110-120 pilots. Even if we get 2 more jets, that only bumps the total to a whopping 140, max. So were looking at 90 furloughs at some point and you are wondering about a class date, still. Look elsewhere, man, or find a way to get here to be let go in a year. Sorry for all of the sarcasm, but I would have thought you would be able to add this all up.

so we arent going to have any more classes?
