Pay to play this time UAL

[Yuppyguppy]

for 50% of the pay...nice

Yeah????

I might even lend UAL money at 11%. My impression from the letter skywest managment sent us is that this also put skywest inc at the front of the line for any UAX flying that comes up.

Great Scott, you should be so proud... tell all you friends and family you are a UAL pilot, well truth is you are pretty much if they stay domestic.

Don't you all see that this is just draining the mainline, but now the stakeholders will be the regional carriers because they have the cash. This is RAH and Frontier, albeit on a much smaller scale, but it is the first step. Maybe someday soon it will be RAH vs. Skywest vs. SWA in the Denver market and UAL will carry the international pax from SFO, IAD, and ORD.

Heh, at least they have "captured" the flying..... scope for Skywest...

This is what happens when you let other people fly your passengers.

Bing Bing Bing winner!

Should say, this is what happens when senior pilots vote out scope so thewy can cash in.

Who's fault is it? ALPA and the mainline MECs created the problem, then ignored it for years....The chickens have come home to roost and you will see more deals like this going forward.

ALPA is a loose association of independent contractors that compete against one another....Combine that with no ability to transport longevity across company lines and you have the current mess.

Has anyone at United ever heard of Midwest Airlines? Do these guys ever pick up a newspaper?

 

[Skyboy722]

Hmmm..... I think I've seen this somewhere before.... oh, where was it? Oh yeah. Republic-F9.

What is the alternative?

United needs cash to operate; SkyWest needs contracts to operate. SkyWest finances United to help United stay in business, and makes a tidy profit doing it. Sounds like good business. We'll probably see more SkyWest bailouts of United in the future. I'm not happy about it, but it is the new reality as United struggles to stay in business because of years of mismanagement. SkyWest needs UAL to stay in business - for now.
