So why would Skywest be doing a lot of advertising for F/A's in the MSP area the past few days if they didn't feel / know they had the NWA RFP??
We've got 2 ladies who sole job at SKW is to go to different cities and recruit FA's. MSP is just another fishing hole.
While the whole SkyWest ALPA thing is interesting, the thing that I find the funniest is how lame some of the supporters are. ERJFO does not work for SkyWest, but goes into every thread and posts the link. He either works for Express Jet and is angry about the loss of flying there (union carrier chataqua took that and I can understand the anger) or he works for chataqua and is worried because SkyWest actaully won an RFP (12 Commair aircraft) which means that there is a speed bump in their quest for regional dominance. Either way I think that it is funny.
The job is changing, and not for the better. It's either fly for an airline that is growing, or fly right seat for 5+ years ala Eagle. Even though I'm not a fan of the small pay raise that some of the SkyWest pilots received, at least those guys are still growing and upgrading and getting their PIC time in order to move on. I know that this will make a lot of people angry, but I'm just pointing out the facts. Many pilots are in a bad place right now because of the state of the industry. I feel bad for them. But SkyWest ALPA is not going to solve anything for other pilot groups. It MIGHT help SkyWest pilots it MIGHT hurt them, but it will do nothing to save Express Jet's flying, it will do nothing to save Commair's flying.
