Midwest looking for 50 seat A/C

[Superpilot92]

Where do YX/SYX expect to put these 50 seaters? A t-prop is the perfect plane for their WI/MI route structure. Jets are a waste of gas for those flights. Unless YX intends to continue farming out flights to SYX, 50 seaters just doughnut make any sense.

Back in the day when I worked for YX, I never nonreved mainline because it cost me $$. I could always fly SYX, AT or USairways for free. Sucks to have to pay to fly on your own airline.

the letter from the ceo stated new routes, i believe the want to stretch out alittle more. The XR we have can pretty much tag any city in the US from MKE. Just my observation.

Expansion has always been very slow at YX

Good old D-52 is gunna get mighty cramped if you try and stick ERJ's out there in place of the beaches.

You can bet on getting preferential hiring if XJT gets the flying. We are very good about helping others out when needed. Just ask the Chicago Express, FLYI, Mesaba people who are here.

AWAC was giving Comair/Mesaba/Indy pref interviews in January/February

Know that ALOT of the Indy guys were not staying long and were giving all the instructors a HARD time in training...but in their defense, most of them have more time in the RJ than the guys in ATW teaching ground school!

alot of them pulled that in alot of places. Instead of feeling entitled people should be thankful for the job.

That might have been the case in training ( I'm sure sitting in class had to be pretty painful)...but I have yet to fly with/meet one FlyI guy on-line that didn't have a good attitude about being here. This sense of entitlement is something I've yet to come across. I don't think I could have started over (gone back to f/o at another reg).

I'm sure you meant no harm by your comment, but I highly doubt that the fact that CoEx might offer preferential hiring ( which I'm pretty sure will happen by whoever steps in anyway ) will make any of the Skyway pilots reading this thread feel any better.

Plus...don't your planes already have pilots ?

Best of luck to all of you.

WTF does that even imply?

I dont know where you got the idea Express Jet has a chance? They wont be able to compete with any CRJ opperator, who can get the jets out of the desert at pennies on the dollar. Express is paying premium rates on their leases. Plus Wisconsin already has a MX facility in MKE. Big plus for them.
