Skywest Emb120 Aug 4 class date cancelled

[Morning Wood]

Not anymore.

Hired for expected flying for a Mesa fall.....didn't happen (and won't)
Hired for expected EMB-145 program.....didn't happen.
Midwest in trouble and not looking good.
Delta wants rj cuts and will get them.
Pro-rate flying on EMB and CRJ losing money and they are about to shed much of it.

Total tally....about 400-600 pilots overstaffed in coming months. Plan accordingly.

None of the CRJ flying is pro-rate.

I'd put money on the july classes going bye-bye

If you have ever consider becoming an ex-patriot and doing some interesting flying out of the UAE let me know.

You mean an expatriate???

Past tense. PMD is 4x EMB now. If PDX closed I'd imagine most would commute to SLC or DEN on the jet.

Really? I'm sitting in the hotel on our PMD overnight and I coulda sworn I flew in on the mighty RJ.

Doesnt the city pay for that flying, or at least part of it?

Also, they had to change my August recurrent to late July because of the hotel situation. SLC smells like $hit, that lake stanks!

You should have!!!


Dear New Hire,
Due to recent decisions made by our major partners, it has become necessary to postpone all future pilot classes. Making the decision to cancel your class has not been easy. A great deal of consideration was given to the personal impact this decision would have, but we are faced with no other choice at this point.
We will place you back in our pool, where you will maintain your current status and position when we reconvene classes. It is too early to know exactly when that will be, but we will let you know as soon as the decisions are made.
For future consideration, please notify us if you gain other employment and would withdraw from an employment opportunity at SkyWest when it is offered.
Sincerely,
Robin Wall
Director Training
