SKYW: SkyWest has finalized an agreement to acquire 100 Mitsubishi Regional Jets

[CesnaCaptn]

So you are saying that if alaska purchased these A/C you would enjoy taking a pay cut to fly them. Probably not. I love the whole "I wont fly them for that rate but I dont want anybody else flying them at that rate either"

What's wrong with that position?

We don't want flying outsourced and we want well paid pilots. Is it more complicated than that?

How about we use B6 E190 pay rates as a baseline and go from there.

 

[152SIC]

Is the first year pay there still $22.00?

That is what APC lists it at; I find that hard to believe.

 

[General Lee]

Looks like SkyWest does as well. And more of them.

The "100 seater?" For who? The only way to change legacy scope is in BK, and with consolidation, it will be tougher to get there due to less competition and fares remaining higher. I guess you can try an "Indy Air" type operation, but that didn't turn out so well. Also, the jet you ordered, has it flown yet? Do you know anything about it? I flew an FAA mx inspector to Nagoya to look over initial work on it and he had some "choice" words that I won't repeat. I'm sure it will......turn out.....great. Good luck!

What is the seating capacity and MGTOW it's certified for?

 

[catIIIc]

MRJ90 isnt allowed under DAL scope and with the latest order of 900's it looks like DAL will max scope out with the CRJ-900's.

The MRJ90 is also not allowed under the new(if passed) UAL Scope unless it is mysteriously certified at under 86000 LBS. No that would never happen right

Start small, and you'd be just fine. The experimental code-share with Airtran wasn't for nothing. It was testing the waters.

Maybe the Phx base will be one of OO's biggest after all.

Look who you have running your airline. Bankruptcy is part of the NW business model. Get what you can through negotiations, get the rest from the judge. The first thing Anderson did was violate all of his vendor contracts, then said sue me and let's see what you get. I wouldn't be so cocksure if I were you.

The only reason Delta is laying out the cash for those 900's is because a regional with a couple hundred 90 seaters would be a viable "independent" airline and with SkyWest Inc. operating half of you flight schedule, there wouldn't be too much you could do about it. Sign up for domestic code share or go the way of Pan Am.

I just hope none of those end up with an Eskimo on their tails. Unless I'm in the left seat. . .

We are hiring.

Apparently you're not familiar with the Delta PWA.

 

[Jon Rivoli]

Apparently you're not familiar with the Delta PWA.

If we operate half of you flight schedule and carry 25% of you passengers and decided that the terms of your latest CPA are unacceptable, you PWA would be bumwad. That is why Anderson is spending billions on RJ's, so he holds the leash on them. If we have 200 MRJ's and a few hundred -700's and -900's, you can keep your 40 -900's and let Gojets fly them. Delta represent's less than half of our flying and that proportion is shrinking.

Then we're agreed. You won't be flying the Mutsu's for Delta. Good luck with "Indy II."

Agreed, but a lot of Delta passengers will probably get to ATL, MSP, JFK and SLC on SkyWest Airlines. Thanks for the good wishes. You also.

If I remember correctly it went well too. Had SWA not purchased AT I believe the code share would have grown.
