SKYW sues DELTA.....

[10nCLR]

So what your saying is that you really have no idea?

no one really knows, except that little birdy.

Gotta admit that JA has a set the size of Texas...

Agree whole-heartedly. And, Texas is big.

Tangent time:

Time to note a similarity: JA means what he says and does. In the early 80's, Reagan fired all of the air traffic controllers. The Soviet Union noted this as an indication of what kind of man Reagan actually was. (greatest president EVER.) Thus, there was no need to test his 'mettle'.

I think this an important fact for all stakeholders, internal and external, to note moving forward.

A regional suing their major affiliate isn't unprecedented, even Mesaba sued NW at the beginning of the bankruptcy fiasco. They'll come to some kind of deal. It's all business.

Exactly. And that's the first rule of business: don't take it personally!

SKYW buys XJT....XJT dissapears!

Thats fine, we'll just fold our pilots (and dispatchers) in DOH and it'll all be good. How junior is jet CA in SFO/SLC/DEN/SMF?

Not junior enough for you to be lickin your chops! Go dream somewhere else boy! You have no control over any thing that would happen anyways.

 

[XPOO]

Also...

SkyWest has better name recognition that ExpressJet on the West Coast. If SkyWest were to ever buy ExpressJet you can kiss the ExpressJet name goodbye.

You forgot to mention record deficit spending and lack of oversight in the financial sector (remember the S&L collapse fiasco?). All of this caused the economic recession of the late 80s (remember the stock market crash of 88?) and early 90s. The deficit was not reduced until Clinton balanced the budget in the mid 90s. Then the economy prospered until 9/11.

Got to look at the big picture. It kills me when you republicans talk about how Reagan was next to God and Ditka. Sure, he won the "Cold War". But it was at the expense of our economy, our environment, education, labor, and the middle class. What did we really win?

Well for starters if we hadn't of won the cold war we would still have had to maintain a significant military presence all over the world and Clinton wouldn't have been able to balance the budget by being able to cut large amounts of military spending. Also what most people don't realize is that all Clinton did was get a projected balance, that means that the budget would not actually become balanced til 10-15 years later. But I guess thats government accounting for you. I believe that most of the growth of the 90's and increased tax revenues can be attributed to mainstreaming of technology in the business sector. The rise of the computer age was simmilar to a second industrial revolution in terms of productivity.

Neither do you boy , none of us do

Also again that is your opinion. People out west buy tickets on DAL and UAL and get on Skywest airplanes. When people fly on XJT aircraft out west they bought tickets for ExpressJet.

Until something happens its all speculation and none of us have much say so fly your planes and get back to dispatching.

You make good points, and I agree with your first one in particular. But the point was that Reagan's economic, social, environmental, and domestic policies were highly lacking. He was a foreign policy president who surrounded himself with businessmen, warmongers and hawks. He believed that large scale policies would "trickle down" to the people, but as is the case in most Conservative pro-capitalist regimes, that never happens. The rich got richer, and the middle class got squeezed. Just like today under Bush II.

And just like the future under McCain.

You say that as though SkyWest NEVER flew under their own name.

You say that as though you are adding words to my post. I didnt state anything about what skywest did in the past.

Am i wrong that people now do not buy tickets for Skywest Airlines?

 

[XPOO]

Actually, SkyWest flies a bunch of at-risk flying. So, yes, people do buy tickets on SkyWest Airlines. Every Brasilia in SLC is flying as SkyWest brand. And a few markets in California as well.

Look its great you have a hardon for your company that you dispatch for but you are making stuff up. You cant go and buy a ticket on Skywest Airlines. That was my point.

Aw fiddle-sticks, SkyWest decides to pay Delta to do their reservations for them on all the Brasilia routes. And pays United to do their reservations for some of the at-risk Brasilia flying in California. It's really nasty that SkyWest gives their customers the EASE of using only one reservation system inorder to book their tickets. Shame on them.

I was only debating with you that people DO buy tickets to fly on ExpressJet and DO NOT buy tickets on Skywest. Who has the best name recognition is all opinion and depends on who you ask, except for you of course

You have made it evident that you can never be wrong. LMAO :laugh:

 

[XPOO]

Ok, agreed. LOL. At least SkyWest planes don't look like they just got squeezed out of a tube of Aquafresh, though. LOL!!
