SkyW new COO

[viper548]

Ron's a great guy. When I was in SGU for orientation as an intern, he took 15 minutes out of his day to talk to us as we were taking a tour of the building. I hope he stays with SkyWest, INC

My feeling on this is that Ron was thrown under the bus to placate UA and our own BOD for our recent performance problems.

The "black ops" thing is just spin to save face. This has happened to a number of top managers in the past. They are given menial tasks, like overseeing fuel, or hotel contracts, or they decide to return to fly the line, and after a while you don't hear about them anymore.

Ron has been wanting to get out for some time now, he was not asked to step down. After his father passed away last year he decided on moving on.

The interesting element of this was the behind the scenes power struggle from the next teir of VP's.

Holt and Childs are pretty much bitter enemies and Brad has said that he wants to take charge of ASA so there might be movement there as well.

I don't expect many changes with Childs flight ops wise, but if Holt goes it we could be in for ride........

WallStreet didn't seem to mind. Stocks up at closing.

But the market had closed yesterday before the announcement was made. Today, SKYW has been down a dollar (about 4%).

crude oil is up = most airline stocks down

Then in the near future we can expect Holt to return to the line so he can "spend more time with his family".

Then God help us all, because if there is anyone in management who pulls for the pilots, its Brad. With him out of the way, then management will really go wild.

Its not too late to send in your cards.

They need to clean house at ASA. First I would start with that POS Scott Hall. He just needs his ass beat plain and simple. Scab. Then Lebreque and go from there.

Why all the hate for Scotty over there?

 

[MELIT]

Mabey Ron is getting set to take the top spot at Midwest? They have been been saying that the midwest deal has more to it. Who knows mabey all that cash on hand is starting to burn a hole in Jerry's pocket.

Bingo. We have a winner.

you're kidding, right?

the way I've heard it from folks in meetings, Brad is the only VP that doesn't stick his neck out for his group (Flt. Ops, which includes pilots).

 

[Lance Uppercut]

I heard Ron got caught putting porn in the cockpit, and JA had enough. Any truth to that?

 

[Baze]

What? Ron was putting porn in the cockpit of a C-172? I think that's about the only type of airplane Ron has ever flown.

Maybe they were pictures of one "SW"!? Those of you at SKYW know to who I'm referring.

Ugh! You're a sick puppy!

 

[Baze]

Yes, I am...

 

[601Pilot]

Is there not anyone on here who wants to beat Scott Hall's ass besides me?

Yes, put my name in the hat!

 

[Snoopy Mendoza]

Ron? What is going on with Fizer?

:bomb:

 

[Andy Neill]

Announcement was 4 hours BEFORE market closed.

Right you are. I had thought the announcement was made at 4 pm EST. I now see it was hours earlier than that.

 

[viper548]

Ron? What is going on with Fizer?

:bomb:

I think he's working on a different type of "special project"

 

[Baze]

Fizer is opening a handwriting analysis agency. No more helicopter charters.

 

[Snoopy Mendoza]

Is he still CP? Or did he get promoted?
