Quarterly numbers for Skywest: Not Good

[XPOO]

How much of that was from pro-rate?

No one knows, the only pro-rate info given was that it accounted for something like 6% of block hours and 10% of revenue.

Total revenues haven't been disclosed yet, $7M was an early guess...now I would say more like $4.5M.

Hey GL and MF,

Every time I get bored over at APC, I come visit FI for some serious entertainment. This place is better than Glocktalk.

From the conference call, total INC revenues for pro-rate was $84M. However much of that was Expressjet, I don't know. Does Expressjet even do pro-rate?

By way of information, total prorate revenues during the quarter just ended were approximately $84 million which compares to approximately $80 million for the same period last year. Our total prorate fleet consisted of 63 aircraft for the quarter just ended which compares to 59 aircraft for the same period last year.

All pro-rate is done by Skywest Airlines.

So what besides weather are driving the drain on cash? Xjet? Engine Overhaul Expenses? Lease Return Costs? Other? Just curious what is the primary driver

It's the CPAs Skywest Inc negotiated for ASA and XJT. They don't produce enough revenue. That and the obvious fact that they are paying for the costs of two sets of management compensation, two sets of office staff, two sets of infrastructure, two sets of procedures and processes.

And the XJT pilots continue to force the company to have THREE distinct pilot groups. There are still three distinct dispatch groups, and I would be willing to bet there are three distinct flight attendant groups. Mechanics as well? Point being, you can only try to deflect the blame for so long.

Nice job on dispatch last night. Great route you sent that CRJ through from IAH-DEN. Glad they only got severe turb followed by cont MDT. Hope nobody was hurt. Last we heard on the radio they were checking. Can't believe the pilots even wanted that route when everyone else was either waiting for the weather to pass.

Can't cancel flights for weather or they will lose money so just send them through and hope for the best !!

NICE

Actually, no. We are happy to integrate ASA/XJT pilots. We just don't want to take pay cuts and subsidize the TWO separate dispatchers, pilots, mechanics, flight attendants, staff, and management that would still exist at Skywest airlines. Inc has all the power to negotiate with flight attendants, mechanics, and dispatchers in order to complete the integration of those employee groups at ASA/XJT. But why don't they? That's because it's actually Inc who is holding everything up. Whipsawing three employee groups is better for Inc than whipsawing two. That's why!

This is all about our ceo's immoral business model where he puts human beings, that are his employees, against each, all for a some more money.

Interesting, usually ATC tells me what I can and cannot do with my route when there are thunderstorms impacting arrival and departure gates. Didn't know dispatchers had that much power.

You talking to me? Are you talking about a SKW flight? From your last comment, I'm assuming you are talking about a XJT flight. Wrong person to blame in that case.

That's awesome, and I know whose group is at the top of CC's list. Godspeed, my friend.

When it comes right down to it, I hope YOU tell ATC what you WILL and WILL NOT do with your route when there are thunderstorms impacting your flight path.

Fwiw, I have been doing this flying thing for a while, and I have only had to do this once or twice. ATC almost always does a great job of steering me around bad stuff. But sometimes.....

That is a given...It is rather amazing what ATC will try and send you through....
