SkyWest Airlines Takes First Six CRJ900 Aircraft
A Fourth Aircraft Type

SkyWest Airlines is pleased to take the first six CRJ900s on order for SkyWest, Inc. Two jets will begin operating in September, with all six in service by November. SkyWest will fly the 900s under the Delta Connection banner at our Salt Lake hub.

What this Means for SkyWest
• SkyWest received the aircraft based on Delta’s needs comparable to market. The 900 represents an expanded role for SkyWest in Salt Lake City.
• The 900s maintain our values of excellent performance, passenger comfort and low operating costs, allowing us to better serve Delta.
• The 900s will allow us to reach further into new markets, giving Delta the flexibility and competitive cost aircraft they need in their Salt Lake hub.

Configuration
• The CRJ900’s spacious cabin will have ten Business Class seats and 60 Economy seats with 37- and 33-inch pitches, respectively.
• All-leather seating in two-by-two configuration
• Four crewmembers in-flight (two pilots and two flight attendants).

What this means for the pilots - 90 seat aircraft flown at 50 seat rates. Yeeehaw! :0

I honestly have some good buddies over there.. But this is getting out of hand. You guys need to stand up and get your share. Your company isn't hurting for cash.

"...at our Salt Lake hub." Will they fly through ATL? If not then ASA was never going to see them to begin with!

 

[BIGGOAT]

If operated within DCI they can only seat 76

 

[propjockey]

And these are only going to seat 70, at least for the time being.

Actually it is only a 70 seater flown at 50 seat rates..........either way they do need to stand up and get what they deserve.

 

[MarineGrunt]

I have a feeling that if the pilot group stood up and said "70 and 76 seat pay rates, or you will have a union on site faster than you can shart yer pants," that they would get their way...

If the pilot group already gets what they feel is fair whats your problem? Why must you always try to brainwash your union lies into the heart of every pilot. Does it really anger you that much that there is a pilot group not only surviving but thriving without a union. I wish comair was so successful. time to keep the decertification alive at comair! Then its ASA here we come. We can be a big happy non-union family.

Why is this putz still around?

 

[Headfake14]

I don't think we were ever "officially" getting the -900s. It was a bluff or smoke and mirrors or something.

He's in someone's GO, CMR or ASA, and has nothing to do all day. Probally shows some mgt puke, hey, look what I wrote today about those sorry pilots. My guess is he may be a dispatcher at best, or a scheduler.

BINGO!​

CT and company are trying to scare everyone though. It's a beetch when you get caught in a lie huh Tutt. Can't wait for those company kool aid meetings next week. It'll be fun watching Merchant showboat in front of King Tutt. Hopefully Tutt will go off like he did yesterday at the GO in front of everyone. Should be a good time for all. Merchant must have some kind of a deal the way he's preaching for the company, or his older gf might be in line for something. And, she's looking old these days too.

That's a good one ASARJMan. Calling him a dispatcher - Wow! That was funny!

Got news for you moron. The SKY pilots are not happt to be flying the 70 seaters for 50 seat pay. That was a LOA that was supposed to last 18 months, and at the end of it JA wouldn't renegotiate. If a union were on property he would have to renegotiate it. So much for your anger for and spreading lies about the union.

Yeah, regardless..

WTF does that mean???

 

[Blucher]

That's just not right putting dispatchers in the same category as schedulers. Dispatchers actually work hard to make the company run better....I haven't yet figured out what the heck it is that schedulers do for us that can't be done a lot more effectively, efficiently and fairly by a relatively simple computer program.

Tex, you are right! I wish they would "Get Their's," but I think they have a few too many SJS guys over there at skywst. The majority of their pilot group should be pissed about their 18 mos contract...agreement...lasting what...36mons now? HOW can you guys NOT vote in the union? I hope that they FINALLY see the LIGHT! Only time will tell.

Oh YEAH, RIGHT CT, those things were NEVER coming to ASA to begin with...Get READY, the STRIKE VOTE is a COMING!!!!!!

 

[n6604f]

Actually, the pay at hte majors is based on the equipment type and not how many seats the company installs in them...CRJ 900 is a 90 seater but pay should be based on the crj 900 not 76 seats. EX. 737 pay is based on the series and not how many seats are installed. 737-800 at DL is missing 6 coach seats for F/A requirments...does that mean a 737 pilot shuld fly the same airplane for a lower rate? It only has 148 total seats when it could have 154. SKYW pilots are bascally going to fly a 90 seat airplane for 50 seat rate....Great job....It is official SKYW is screwing the regional pilots right to et paid for the equiment they fly and not the scope they fly under!
