Skywest Emb120 Aug 4 class date cancelled

[rickair7777]

Since XJET and DAL just agreed to part ways the SKW hiring should resume soon. I'm pretty confident the SLC flying will go to SKW, and there's a decent chance of LA too.

Disappointing news for those scheduled for classes. Keep the chin up though. It will happen eventually.

Rickair - I wouldn't get anybodies hopes up on hiring. Sure we may pick up a little flying from Expressjet but there are going to be massive schedule cuts in SLC and elsewhere in Sep/Oct so at best this will just prevent furloughs. Throw in a 50% reduction in Milwaukie and unknown numbers in the Brasilia and we should still have plenty of extra pilots sitting around.

Hope I am wrong about this but that is how I would see it.

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
SkyWest Airlines

July 14 CRJ Class.

 

[wilde737]

Sorry to hear that! We will be hiring again.......sometime.

That was about the average load when we did the LAX-PMD service, and I don't think we ever carried more than a baker's dozen on the SFO-PMD route...

 

[seatrumpeter]

SFO-PMD is subsidized. Look for it's cancellation as soon as the subsidy runs out.

Pretty sure the LAX RJ flying will just end. Flying an ERJ from LAX-SEA was a bad idea at $60 a barrel and at $145 its brain-numbingly moronic.

I'd imagine the most XJET flying out of SLC will be replaced by OO, but I assume that the planes will come from reductions in other markets. Delta wants to cut its regional capacity, and this will allow them to do so.
