Q400 Rates on the horizon for SkyWest?

[btrthn5n5]

colgan 5 yr rate on the Q is 66 per the new cba. in Dec it goes to 69. year 5 of the cba it's 80. I know........semantics

Those are looking better. I was just going by the last rates I have seen, and those off of "airlinepilotcentral". I'm glad Colgan is clawing their way up.

No one else fly's q400's in colgan, lynx, island air or porters route areas, that is the difference. Skywest is only getting more flying by taking others flying for less pay and or violating court orders. That's a problem, a big one.

If the flying is Alaska's, and Alaska gives it to SkyWest, who did SkyWest steal it from? Sounds like a legitimate transaction to me.

That defines every regional. They are all lowest-bidding contractors, that's the way outsourcing works in every industry. That is the biggest reason not to stay in the regional end of aviation, the constant wal-marting.
