Two 1900s will stay at MKE to cover EAS (all day trips, no overnights), and the remainder will go to MCI to take-over the old Air Midwest flying.

The J328s will follow when SkyWest gets the other airframes to MKE.

Skyway!! Not SkyWest!!

I bet ATC NEVER makes that mistake...


Who the heck really knows. Maybe DOJ has greenlighted the TPG deal and they are announcing that and the 170 orders. Or, to follow Foley's example, “We are disappointed that Skyway was unable to overcome disappointing revenue, unusually bad weather and record-high fuel prices, obstacles which we now believe make it impossible to achieve sustained profitability...”

Thats stretching things a bit thin with the 4 remaining 1900s!

Sorry, I'm sure Skyway has never been "stretched thin" in terms of a spare aircraft and or staffing. :beer:

Expect the unexpected!

Nothing will be a surprise, well, except for the 170's, the TPG deal closing, and anything that resembles a growth plan.

 

[GOULET!]

HA! Very well said deadstick. Im sure its just another rumored announcement that will result in no word from anybody. If the TPG did go through, they sure as hell wouldn't be sitting on that news. You are very right though....expect the unexpected!

 

[Illini Pilot]

So there actually is a rumored announcement? I hadn't heard anything before I saw this...but thats what happens when you actually get a few days off!

yeah ive heard nothing either other than what you jokers start. i guess we should say that there is a big announcement coming from (fill in with your airline) soon. sometimes i cant even believe i read or reply to this crap!

 

[GOULET!]

I as well have heard of no rumor at the airport. Just another FI annoucement rumor that will have no merit.

 

[SYX328]

They are supposed to getting Cat II certified. And Midwest is getting Cat III.

 

[Tarzan]

ASA getting 23 Q400's to replace the ATR-ah's.

A Cat II Beech...now that's a dream plane!

TurboProp

[RP170]

They are picking up all of ACA's old 328's that are parked in Myrtle Beach and getting a DCI contract.

Wait, that was supposed to have happened a few years ago!

 

[Illini Pilot]

The moving to MCI rumor is certainly a favorite amongst the SYX flight attendants.

Maybe Baghdad Carol will return to make the announcement, too. The last time I hear it was like rats off a sinking ship. Then they had to back pedal to recover from her loose lips and ended-up with a staffing "issue."

Who would they sell Skyway to? Ultimate Jet or Private Air Charters?

 

[GOULET!]

If they wanted to get rid of the 328s they would have no trouble selling them. There are plenty of companies that would love to get their hands on a few more 328s. Same is true with the 1900s. Our airplanes aren't going anywhere.

 

[nickgutnick]

Skyway is going bye-bye, 1-16-08. You heard it here first!

 

[GOULET!]

Wow, tomorrow already? Thanks for the heads up. Think im going to call in sick now so I can at least use up my huge bank of sick time.
