Skywest Employees Now Nonrevving In The Blind!

[SSDD]

Skywest was a step backwards from what i use to get at another carrier.

And yet here you are at Skywest!

Then why did you switch? Doesn't sound like you have room to complain if you made the decision. Sounds like you've had it a little too good for too long at the regionals. Lucky....

I switched because the last carrier was pretty much a dead end, no progression. I just get tired of hearing that Skywest is great, when its middle of the road amongst the regionals with regard to employee treatment.

How many regionals have you worked for? If it was ASA then SkyWest I don't see why you're complaining, go work the "below the middle" of regionals and see you feel about SkyWest after that. Another example of the grass is greener.

Its not the Kool-aid...its the whine!!!!!!!!!

And why the f*** would any pilot at Skywest give a rat's a$$ what you think of them? This isn't high school. Get over yourself.

Dude go back to the Cargo section. If SKW was taking some of UPS's routes your tune would change. The only reason you don't feel the same way as most around here is because you are led around by your Ball$ which your girlfriend has secured in her purse.

You SKW sheeple

Isn't ACV a OO station? When I worked in ROA we had a list of all of the flight crew (for all companies) employees and their numbers and they had the stations #. They would call in we would list them and tell them which flights to get on. Also something about UA boarding of NRSA on express flights, first comes any employee working for the operator of the flight in order of seniority and then all other UA and UAX employees in order of check-in. UA's system allows for 24 hours prior check in. You may not like talking with the staff at the station but it could be your best hope of getting where you need to go.

As for the AA guy he only got a look at what the airline can sell. For instance if you have 9's in all classes then it a pretty good bet. If you see Y7 and then it gets smaller as you go throught the different classes then you may need to worry. He only knew that there were seats to sell and out of SFO i will bet there is a horrible oversell factor. So get to know the agents they will be your best asset!

loads on who? skywest or mainline? pm me and tell me how?

You've been here for 7 years and you don't know how to check the loads through SkyWestonline.com????

Why? Because he doesn't believe all the sunshine-and-flowers nonsense that people like you espouse on here? All he's doing is calling a spade a spade based on his experience. He's not bashing Skywest, he's simply saying its not the end-all-be-all some make it out to be.

Speaking of Alpa drive, what's going on with that I haven't heard anything new lately?

If Skywest is the best why are we getting the SHAFT when trying to commute by not being able to check loads. Ill bet you what is happening is that management is just trying to discourage commuting. Wouldnt surprise me if this was the case with all the problems in denver the company had with commuting employees.

Getting the shaft because you can't check loads. My friend, you are a tool. You've been here for a month and you have it all figured out, huh? I've commuted in the past, I was never encouraged or discouraged in reguards to commuting. As far as coming here from another airline, feel free to go back to where you came from. Either you made a stupid decision to come here and now you regret it, or you came here because their were better/more opportunities for you at SkyWest yet your pissy about the little differences between your new company and your old company. Either way, your never going to be happy no matter where you work, so you might as well make another lateral move to improve your situation.

Where did you work before you worked at SkyWest?
