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!

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.

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.

Hopefully you're not on an over night!

 

[GOULET!]

Ha! Point well taken sir. There are many classic stories of crews getting stuck in an outstation when their companies close their doors overnight.

It's 406 miles to Milwaukee, we got full tanks of Jet-A, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

Hit it.

Just like high school let's have some footnotes with references on this info.

Any Skyway'ers remember the story from this punchline?
"Beware the Pizza!"

Watch out for unexpected and unexplained 'parties' which you're all supposed to attend!

I would suppose it would be an outstation closing, but it seems more like something they would do at a 1900 station. You'll have to refresh my memory. Let's see, stations opened and/or closed in my seven year tenure:

FWA
IAD
RDU
CVG
SBN
LSE
LAN
TVC
MLI
CID
LIT
RFD

and after that:
DLH
MQT
RHI?
ESC?

Any others I'm missing Jerky?

oh boy the rumors are flying! fellow syx'er just texted me saying he heard we were bought by SKYW...what the hell would they want to do with SYX?

Maybe there is credit to the story of taking the Bro's to the Midwest side to do EAS. The CRJ's will just replace the MD80/717 flying (with CRJ1000's) and the J328's (+40 "new" ones from the PRC) will do the short-haul stuff from MKE and MCI.

How will that seniority list look?

You saw it here first!

Is GV still the chief pilot at Skyway?

 

[GOULET!]

No GV is not the Chief Pilot here anymore. He left about 2 months ago to go to Big Sky only to get there and find out they are going belly up. Ive heard he is out of a job as of the end of January. I have to say I feel sorry for the guy if that is all true.

What time is the big announcement expected?!?!?! Good thing im not on an overnight.

GOULET thinks this Skyway rumor is complete B.S. for the record. TPG just gave another briefing last week to the Midwest board letting them know that they are still 100% behind the buyout. They expect approval by 01/31. That will be the true answer of the future of Skyway.
