Skyway..

[Dumbluck]

the idiot doing the interviews thinks he is hiring for FEDex. Without the pay or equipment. They want to pay nothing and expect a newby to know it all.

last I heard Skyway was doing panel interviews.
also, the technical part was a approach plate, Jeppeson. knowlege worthy of Fedex or a inst. rating

Things haven't changed since I was hired...the toughest stuff they tossed out there is the Jepp. So, there isn't any excuse for not knowing the "technical stuff."

If you think Skyway's interview is difficult you are in the wrong industry my friend. Skyway was the easiest interview by far out of any place I interviewed at. That "idiot" who did your interview too probably made you look like the idiot based on your performance which is why Im willing to wager that you were rejected and thats better for all of us at Skyway. So thank you to my "idiot" boss.

On the other topic, the rumors have been running rampant recently. Ive heard anywhere from 2-15 airplanes which will replace the Beech fleet, could be as soon as late next year. I personally think it would be at least 2007 by the time they would all be phased out. People are still slowly being picked up by Midwest, Allegant, and USA 3000.

Great time to be at Skyway. Senority has been skyrocketing on the bottom half of the list. And now the Beech FO's schedule are better than the Jet FO's. I never thought I would see the day. My best to all of those who bailed in the last months. Wish you were all still here!!!

GOULET!

I don't believe it!!!
It can't be, did they make the Jet lines worse? I mean its against nature to make the beech lines better than the jet lines, My head is spinning, i need to sit down, wait i am sitting, i need to stand up, during four + years that never happened.
Seriously, good for all I'm glad things are looking up

It hasn't changed since you asked the same question last week.

It'll probably end up being 6-7 airplanes and presumably these new planes would be on property by mid-2006. It's been mentioned management wants to start staffing up, for the planes, right after the holidays. While this is a good turn of events, I'll believe it when the new planes are on the ramp. As for the Beeches, the last lease expires 2008. I wouldn't be surprised if the EAS flights are dropped when the contracts expire.

What are the new aircraft that are coming to replace the 1900s?

 

[fastbird]

If you are a victim of SJS and overly optimistic...think ERJ 145's.

If you are a realist...think former ACA FRJ's.

Couldn't have said it better myself

So, what's the upgrade time again...I too lazy to follow the link to the previous thread.

There are too many variables right now to even remotely offer an approximate upgrade time.

Speculatively speaking, anyone hired today might expect upgrade to 1900 CA in three years. Granted, that's based on current fleet numbers of 10 FRJ's and nine 1900's. Supposedly, the 1900's are expected to be removed from service by 2008. There is talk of 6-7 more FRJ's coming on property sometime in 2006 but that's not a definite. We can endlessly speculate on the number of FRJ's that might be purchased to replace the 1900's.

That's the crapshoot about upgrade times - one day they're lightning fast, the next glacially slow.

Peace

don't we curently have 11 1900's ( with 801 recently departing)
79,81,85,87,,91,92,891,881,841,831, 901

300? Options for 150? 12 jets, 12 props? 12 props and some EMB parts?


I would imagine what ever happens we will not grow by much, if any at all. We're not looking to take over the world.

On the lighter side, is this turning into the next Island Air type thread?

 

[sbn340mech]

By the time we get the 145's, they'll be obselete. But then again we have a track record of operating with defunct equipment.
