Skywest Employees Now Nonrevving In The Blind!

[WalterSobchak]

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!

If you want to attempt to go this route...you can check out SeatCounter.com

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????

have you volunteered for the ALPA drive yet? you'd fit right in.

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?

I didnt say it was bad here! Its ok here, but it is definitely not GREAT. By the way why are you calling me names?

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!

This guy has it dead on, that AA guy had not much of a better idea than you did if he was looking in sabre. Sabre will only show actual listings for the airline you work for. For OAL or other airlines it shows numbers of tickets available for sale in each fare class. For example there may only be 3 seats actually open but sabre may list 7 under each fare class making it look like there are lots of seats available. The only thing it will tell that AA guy for sure if is every fare class has a 0, this means the flight is already overbooked by the maximum allowable number of over sold tickets that can be sold for that flight.

A union might solve this problem.....

How so, Dumba$$.

Although I am not 100% sure, I think UAX carriers have to pay a fee to UAL to get Skynet. I don't underrstand why. It just seems like UAL doesn't understand that these are their passengers that you are carrying. Why would they charge their own express carriers for something like that?

I worked for Air Wisconsin for seven years, when they were a United Express carrier. It wasn't until the very last year of their relationship with United that we got Skynet. Prior to that point we were still working off of the old 1960's Apollo sets.

Look, conversation over. This has already been resolved. SkyWestOnline has the ability to tell you the full load factors for any flight any day on ANY UAL or DAL flights. Case closed. Thread closed. Have a good night!

+1....No it won't change the phone system, but it might stop the rest of the regionals calling you scum.

Except of course all the ones calling for a job!

no it was just a poorly done photoshop of this picture...

...which is apparently popular amongst the computer peoples.
It was just the result of a drunken conversation trying to explain the almost disturbing immaturity that all of us professional pilots display here on FI.

The only time you can see loads is if you are scheduled to fly the flight. Other than that i know of no other way to see loads, and if you are not working you cannot see the load factors for particular flights.

This question was posted AND answered recently (today) in the SkyWestOnline I-Share forum.

Log into SkyWestonline

enter travel paramaters and click View.

The first column is a clickable button that pops up the passenger load status.

Maybe I'm retarded, but I don't have a "Check Flights" link under "Travel Center"....
