SkyWest ATL domicile closing

[CheeseDick]

They'll be opening a DTW base

 

[USC328]

Midwest Connect contract was bought out by Republic. Republic paide SkyWest $400,000 per aircraft for a total of $4 million. The MKE domicile closed effective January 1, 2010.

Lines in DEN for February jumped up by 21 on the CA side. This includes numerous DL flights out of MSP. Heard a rumor that SkyWest mechanics are being TDY'd to MSP for those DL flights. Rumor also has it that those positions could become permanent for the mechanics. Sounds like Mesaba might be flying more in SLC, but SkyWest is getting the flying in MSP.

SkyWest putting 7 planes in MSP in Feb. Thats why the shift... Nothing to do with MCO.

What happened to Midwest Express?

Welcome to Earth!

Perhaps there wasnt enough 200 flying in SLC and delta didnt want to pay skywest to just park airplanes and opted to fly them in MSP instead. Wait, wait there is too much logic in that.

Close the ATL base to fly for Airtran in ATL? Isn't that why skywest wasn't doing LA Delta flying because they couldn't fly for Delta and or United out of the same base?

It was a no compete clause on the United side. I don't think SkyWest is going to close ATL, pay 40 crew members to leave, then open ATL again. Doesn't really make sense. We have a lot of SkyWest at-risk flying for AirTran in MKE going on, but SkyWest isn't opening up MKE as a base again.

I thought SkyW was going to do LAX-SAN runs for Delta sometime this year?

Didn't they add UAL RJ flying to DEN and SFO too, along with the SLC Delta flying that was already being done????







Good thing they closed SAN as a domicile...:smash::nuts::erm::angryfire:bomb:uke:

Proposed DL 06Apr'103-0Apr'10 Schedule
The preliminary schedule shows OO operating 4 daily LAX-LAS along with the 5 daily flts to SAN (Feb sched).

As soon as the economy shows some positive strengthening, LAX will grow like a bean stalk!

Can you elaborate at all? Where is this rumor coming from? Line pilots, mgmt insiders, etc?

Our Mgmt has not shared the SkyWest agreement with us as they are required to do per our CBA so as a pilot group we're pretty much in the dark re: the SkyWest flying.

Subsequent to September 30, 2009, SkyWest Airlines entered into a code share agreement with
AirTran Airways, Inc. Under the terms of the code share agreement, SkyWest Airlines will operate
five CRJ200s under a pro-rate arrangement with two aircraft scheduled to begin service in December
2009 and three aircraft scheduled to begin service in early 2010. The code sharing agreement has a
three year term; however, after May 15, 2010, either party may terminate the agreement upon 120
days written notice.

3Q09 Results.

announced today, effective March 1st.

2010 is going to be a bad year for bases at SkyWest. My guess 5 Brakillya domiciles and 2 CRJ domiciles gone by year end.
