Why is that a yawn? It's not really a good sign when your company is losing money. just sayin'.

Well, apparently they have money though for Mini Indy, Aceypalooza and other feel good programs. I'm not even gonna go into the SureJet fiasco and the unnecessary displacements and training costs.

That's okay they can make all of the mistakes, we will end up paying for it anyways!! For those of you on the defense, there is a heavy dose of sarcasm in this sentence, just saying!!

Yeah man, 1000 hour PIC and I'm outta here. I'm pretty sure Delta and SWA will be begging me to work there.



I'm kind of a big deal.......

 

[WAZUP]

1000 PIC turbine time!!!!!!! Cause no other rj driver's have that!!!!! LOL!

 

[XPOO]

Something tells me this loss can be squarely attributed every airline under the SkyWest Inc. banner except SkyWest Airlines. Looking forward to that financial bonus check.

Don't hold your breathe. The red ink is spread around.

>>>The airline, which flies for US Airways, United and Delta, predicts a quarterly loss of $17 million to $18.5 million, or 34 cents to 37 cents per share for the three months ending Dec. 31.

SkyWest said the loss is due to a few main factors: higher maintenance, pilot training and crew costs. Altogether, SkyWest thinks these added costs will hit net income by about $12 million.

SkyWest is also bracing for bigger-than-expected losses from two international regional airlines it owns. Those losses are expected to be $5.5 million more than it originally predicted.


The maintenance expenses stem from aging aircraft issues, timing and cost of airframe inspections and engine overhauls.

The pilot training and crew costs are in part due to the company's new contract with US Airways. SkyWest started flying under the US Airways Express banner in December.<<<

Well, if Skywest Airlines does not having aging aircraft, does not require airframe inspections or engine overhauls, and is not the airline doing the US Airways Express flying, then you might be correct.

Your post is very inflammatory and divisive. Most of the Skyw crews i come in contact with during a trip are very friendly and cordial. I believe you represent the minority over on that side.

At Riddle they told us 1000 hours was all we needed to get hired and be a captain on the 777 by 25.

Im pretty sure my degree from the Harvard of aviation schools will more than be enough to get me an immediate interview with Delta.

That's funny stuff......I don't care who you are.

...............That's the plan. The way I figure it, is that crew scheduling is trying VERY hard to make sure that I don't want to stay here, and it's working.

SkyWest (OO) does have aging aircraft. SkyWest (OO) does have some that require airframe inspections. SkyWest (OO) is doing the US Airways Express flying. However, SkyWest (Inc) owns the aging aircraft, that need inspections, and are doing the US Airways Express flying. Therefore, Inc takes the hits on those things, not OO. Tell ya what, we'll meet here again on Feb. 15th, after the earnings call, and see who was correct.

I'd second that! I would also like to add our highly skilled, only seeing black and white writing (especially in how do deal with your own people) management to that statement!!

Why? Flyguy already said what I would have said. Oh, and they could probably save more than $18 million with one list.

You must be drunk on that kOOl aid. And in case you don't understand rhetorical statements, no need for you to respond to this post. Point made and case closed.

SkyWest (OO) does have aging aircraft. SkyWest (OO) does have some that require airframe inspections. SkyWest (OO) is doing the US Airways Express flying. However, SkyWest (Inc) owns the aging aircraft, that need inspections, and are doing the US Airways Express flying. Therefore, Inc takes the hits on those things, not OO. Tell ya what, we'll meet here again on Feb. 15th, after the earnings call, and see who was correct.

And Inc also owns ASA and XJT and Tripp and Air Mekong. Your point on Inc owning everything under the Inc umbrella doesn't make your case. In fact, it weakens it. But you are probably too blinded by your kOOl aid.
