[crjdxr]

Especially when the airline loses their kid.... imp:

There should be another service fee for that.

The 2 announcements that are to be coming forth very soon are;

1) Skywest will codeshare for Southwest. Rumor also has it that Pinnacle may get some of the work too.

2) Skywest has already signed a deal with Delta to take over all the LAX flying from XJT. (Announcement may be delayed till late Jan.)

#2 ITS ABOUT FRICKIN TIME

#2 ITS ABOUT FRICKIN TIME

Why? Is Skywest somehow more entitled to that flying than XJT?

Maybe one day SKW can fly their sweet 900's for every mainline carrier in the world...sweet!
Hell maybe even 737's

No, I didnt mean that,,, I know there are a lot of us a SKW that would like a base at LAX other than reserve!!! For us its just a rumor now!!

If I were airline management I'd give them A380's, if they would fly them for 50 seat pay.

No "Selfishness" in this statement!

Better not give them any ideas....the same guys who voted down ALPA probably would jump at the chance!

 

[Speedtape]

NASA wants to outsource the Space Shuttle flying and is asking for PFB's. How low will it go?

Wheres the big news?

 

[Bako Cap]

I am usually not a bitter person. But, I saddly think that the BIG rumor is just that, a rumor.

"Sorry guys, we had cool 737 jobs for you at top pay but the deal just kinda fizzled out. We will continue to look for new opportunities (that will conicide with the next union drive) for SkyWest Inc. Unfortunately we cannot squeeze any more blood from our $160M profit turnip to negotiate any type of a QOL or pay increase. Great job, you make SkyWest the best of the industry and the employer of choice."

The xjt contract was for one year. They may get it back they may not. Fact is that Anderson specifically stated that they have two great DCI carriers: Express Jet and Pinnacle. If you do not believe this watch the 3rd Quarter web cast. I was very surprised to hear him say that.

 

[Exskydiverdrivr]

Yeah, I had a senior SKW guy tell me CC had threatened that if we voted ALPA in we would not get the SWA stuff. Over a week now since the "we can't say anything period" and it's SKW business as usual.

I think that the contract was for two years starting June 1, 2007.

"SkedPlus has worked great for us these last 3 months and saved us a bucketload of cash by having you guys drop your unwanted flying onto reserves and we don't have to pay them any extra. So we will be keeping it!"
