Rumor: Skywest to fly 737-300s for UAL

[General Lee]

Skywestman,

Not every carrier is like Southwest. Delta has International ops too, making lots of money flying to Europe and South America. But, they are targeting us in the national low cost area, and we have created Song to go after Jetblue and the likes of Southwest. We all don't have to totally change and turn into LCC's, we just have to adapt parts of our system. Delta so far is the only Major trying to take on the LCC's without changing the whole airline and keeping the rest of mainline intact.

Now on the regional side, Mesa and Skywest have changed everything for that industry. Mesa had already low balled everyone else, but their product was lacking. (Hence United kicked them out 3 years ago) Now Skywest agrees to flying planes with up to 99 seats for 50 seat wages, and the rest of the industry will follow to "stay competitive."

Bye Bye--General Lee

I am worth a million an hour, and as soon as I find the job that pays that I am done flying!
Lesson grasshopper, you don't get what you are worth, you get what you negotiate .
Voted no and still pissed!

Look, you should all know by now that 50 plus percent of our pilots are limp d*ck, koolaid drinking pu**ies who will do what ever management tells them to do. I still dont understand how skywest somehow needed to know what labor costs would be so they could tell UAL, so they get this 18 month TA and then announce an 11 year contract. Our management came out and said how great this TA would be. Now if management likes it then it must be bad for the pilots!
Oh well...maybe in 18 months we can get a raise....HAHAHAHA
