SKYW to get more RJ's for Midwest

[MarineGrunt]

ask an air willey pilot. you lowballed them after you teabagged them at ORD.

Ah, yes, after I did... how did I ever forget that one?

 

[Illini Pilot]

And there should be. I think every SkyWest pilot out there should do everything possible to help you guys out. Any of you guys can PM me if I can help in any way.

Might as well start asking questions about SKYW...

Are MKE and ORD the two junior bases on the CRJ? I am from Chicago, so either is fine (I'm pretty much living in a crashpad in MKE as it is). How about length on reserve/schedules in each?

 

[homerjdispatch]

Unfortunately, it's all about greed .

Isnt that the ALPA slogan?

 

[XPOO]

buuuuuuuurn

 

[SkyNation]

Illini,

I think you'd do well at SkyWest. ORD is very junior, so living in base would the norm for you. Chances are great that we'll get larger there as well, depends on what happens with Mesa.

I'm with the others who would have been happier to see ya'll keep the flying, but if you want to come here you're more than welcome. Turboprop guys always do great.

Illini,

She may have t-props in her blood and boots on the wings, but I'm on the DoJet.

Yeah, both are junior. Reserve should be short if hired in the next few months

even better! you're leaps and bounds ahead of the 1000/100 CFIs that we hire.

PM incoming....

As a (do I say ex- now?) skyway pilot, i don't think the wrath directed at skywest is quite fair. It would have been the same with AW, ExpressJet, etc etc. coming into MKE.

I do find it somewhat humorous that there are now 4 job fairs for SKYW in MKE in the next month

It's not humorous. Skywest has already announced that they will give "preference" on hiring Skyway pilots and flight attendants.
I flew on the Midwest system on SKYW and you guys are awesome people, as I had a chance to meet few of you.
We don't rejoice the fact that Skyway is going out of business. I myself have 2 kids to feed. Just know that even though we are coming to MKE, we are not excited about the circunstances surrounding this deal.

 

[Brazilgun]

no it's before the flight....

"No we can't take you on the j/s. Our POS airplane can't handle it due to "balance". Even though I can have 5 wives, other carriers will take j/s with 50 people in the back with no issues, you guys always have no issues giving us rides up front, and I'm wearing my special underwear, there still is nothing i can do for you."

I am sorry you're so miserable. Did your wife leave you for a mormon guy? Because I really don't see how the religion has anything to do with all this. But if you sleep better at night, more power to you.

He's Jehova Witness. Those Mormon's are stepping all over their door-to-door turf. It's like crips and bloods with those two.

don't make fun of JW, those creeps can put up a building in one day.

 

[SKYWRJGUY]

I didn't know pilots entered into contract negotiations with other carrier management to bid on flying. Learning something new everyday; not good or right, but new (and sometimes stupid). Is it possible people are as dumb and as ego-centric in real life as they appear to be here?

 

[XPOO]

No, Romney will be the fulfillment of the prophecy. SkyWest was never part of the great Joseph Smith's plans for world domination. Nice try, though.

 

[John Pennekamp]

Okay, here's my guess as to the conversation in more than one RJ cockpit coming or going to SLC: "Dude, we have to take these new rates...they won't give us the Midwest flying if we dont..."

More like:

"Dood, that 175 is soooo sweet! Think we'll get it if we take this pay deal?"
"Too bad about those Skyway guys, they should have just come here, haas".
"How ya' like my new hair frosting, dude"?
"Wha, bro? Didn't hear ya... was blasting Coldplay on my ipod".

On behalf of all SkyWest Pilots I would like to offer my condolences to any who might be hurt by this deal. CitationLover.....I think you need to work off some of this anger. This statement has got to be one of the most a@@nine comments that I have ever seen. Sounds like you need to educate yourself before you start start spewing your hatred across the web.

Except that the absence of a union contract allows SkyWest management the opportunity to undercut the union carriers. The playing field is not level.

And once again, the coat tail riding whores of the industry steal more jobs. I'm sure tears will be falling all across the SkyWest Nation. Go ahead and take the new pay deal, kids. You just got your reward in advance.

Don't think any of them are hurt by the deal. In fact, I bet the majority are quite pleased with the outcome.

are you wearing special underwear now? there is no religion, only cults.

Proof that good ole Mark Twain knew what he was talking about!
