Socalplt said:The way SkyWest would wind up out of the contract would be if Delta goes into BK and then tries to renegotiate for a rate that wouldn't make it worthwhile. SkyWest would say no and then Delta would give the flying to someone else. Manangement here has no interest in the 50 seater, their eyes are on 90+ seat aircraft.
You're probably right.chperplt said:At this point, I think the long term health of Skywest is directly linked to it's business with Delta. I'm not saying it's survivability, but it's health.
Not said poorly, at all. You make a good point.spinup said:What I'm poorly trying to say is that a cash infusion and filed losses are apples and oranges.
General, I know the SkyWest pilot group hasn't engendered a great deal of respect with regard to pay for larger aircraft. However, I think you'll find that SkyWest pilots are not anxious to be taken advantage of again. Many of us refuse to fly the 70 for 50 rates, and I feel that many, many more will do the same if 90-seaters are proposed, especially at the same rates. I have a feeling SGU knows they've pushed their luck up to this point, and any such offer will be soundly rejected by the pilot group.General Lee said:90 seat aircraft at 50 seat rates.

Which ASA and Comair could get really cheap and fill them quickly. Maybe that is the plan!

Have you been assigned class? If so, did you go or refuse? Or are you just not bidding the trips? I would love to hear that conversation with SGU.
