If you Kool-Aid drinking bafoons had a union, maybe you would enjoy better pay, than you have now?

Slaves. I bet they make you stir your own Kool-Aid mix.

Hey man, can you not find anything better to come up with than your pathetic Kool-Aid shtick. Really, it's getting old. It is almost like that one guy that comes up to you in the crew lounge with the same stupid joke over and over again until you pull him aside and kindly tell him that "dude, its getting old." You know, that kind of annoying.

Besides, Jonesboro was years ago and the pilot group is getting much younger these days. If you want to stay relevant i'd suggest you consider changing your euphemisms.

So true...most people on this board probably don't even know what the whole "kool-aid" joke is referring to.

Really? It's all subsidized, for crying out loud! It's easy to make money when you have a guaranteed profit, my friend. Try going out on your own, and we'll see how well you fare. What's mind-boggling to me, is that DAL and UAL are still willing to pay SKW as much as they do. Good thing you guys are cheap :p

mrnolmts. read again the above post. slice it any way you want about SKW posting profits, but I would be interested to know what kind of profit your company posted this past quarter? your current position on your avatar states your "alive" but I would willing to bet your airline is "alive, but barely breathing".

I don't need to. My point is that SKW flying is all subsidized flying, meaning you are entirely dependent on being attached to the DAL/UAL teets.
If/when they decide to cut you off, we'll see how "brilliant" the SGU guys are. You don't even have a marketing department, so how exactly will you venture out on your own if the you-know-what hits the fan?
You agree with their assessment that the 50-seat RJ's fill an important niche in today's environment? If you do, then I guess the "Kool-aid" posts here are spot on.
Like I said in my original post, of course you'll post profits when the profits are guaranteed. You don't have to worry about fuel costs. That is, until the cost rises to the point where DAL/UAL come to their senses and make SKW eat their fair share...
 
^ this one's been sippin' the Hater-ade
 
mrnolmts,

I understand what you are saying. But, there are many companies that DAL and UAL pay for a service such as fuel service, food service, technical service, etc. I am sure that the fuel, and food companies that fill UAL and DAL aircraft get paid at a profit. At what point is SkyWest any different? And are you also mind-boggled that UAL and DAL pay for fuel and food like they pay for SkyWest and EVERY other regional airline in their portfolio?

You say you understand, but I am not sure you do.

I believe Mrnolmts, is saying it is easy to post a profit when all of your flying is done at a profit. DAL/UAL pay for the cost of operating the flight plus a profit whether it is full or empty. SkyWest has done a good job of keeping their costs under control and always seemed positioned to keep their contracts. Nobody should be bragging about SkyWest profits that should be the norm. You should get worried when there aren't any.
 
Its gonna be pretty nice until some of these majors cant afford to buy all the seats on their feed.

Erectile dysfunction got you down? Don't worry man, you can regain your confidence again after your failed skywest interview. Just because skywest didn't take you seriously doesn't mean you can't be a successful pilot. keep trying.
 
Popped collar wont get you laid buddy your def too old for this game.
