Skywest Hiring?

[WayBack]

Wishing other pilots out of a job, way to uphold the "professional image." People with that kind of attitude have no business being a professional pilot.

You've just got to be careful around Moroni Metro.
This time of year he gets flashbacks of a bad overnight he had. Long story short, he ended up getting tied up by a bunch of angry midgets wearing Hillary Clinton masks. One of them was wearing a Banana Hamock with the Skywest logo on the front.
They all took turns on him with the "Super Colon Destroyer 2000" all night long.

I don't know you at all, but just to say, everytime your company gets more flying, its generally at the expense of someone else losing it, hence someone being out of a job somewhere. Kinda remember that...

I can agree with that. I don't wish anybody out of a job, not even Mesa pilots. That being said, am I supposed to NOT be happy when / if SKW gets more flying so that my QOL drastically improves? It's out of the pilot group's hands, so why throw stones at each other?

I am not throwing stones.....yet haha. You are supposed to be happy yes, but remembering that while you're happy, another pilot is sitting there wondering what they're going to do to pay off the bills or put food on the table etc possibly. Granted this is the most extreme scenario but with today's economy it's happening all too often. It's like as a regional pilot, your happiness is taking another major's job who makes a lot more than you or I. The problem is management wants to give it out to the cheapest everytime, and rightfully so. They are there to make the company money, while attempting to make you or I happy, yet their first and foremost idea is to make money to stay in business. So yes, in that respect, it's out of our hands

SKW pisss in your Cheerios?

No, I just don't have any respect for pilot groups that keep the bar low. Ask any Air Whisky pilot how they like east coast flying since their DEN and ORD base was overridden by Skywest and Mesa pay scales. Ask an unemployed Skyway pilot in MKE how much they like Skywest. Skywest and Mesa are synonymous, only Skywest doesn't have a union. The "majority" of their pilots prefer to ride on the coat-tails of an ASA pilot. They didn't piss in my Cheerios, just on the profession. I really hope they will prove me wrong, and lead the industry someday. I guess they may be able once everyone else is out of a job.

Your profile name, signature, avatar, and attitude lead me to believe that you lost the ability to be objective a long time ago.

So, is Skywest hiring or not?

No. My guess 2Q 09'

If SkyWest got the 900 flying for USAirways out of PHX, then ASA had better get the 900 flying for Delta out of Atlanta. Watch the massive implosion if SkyWest grows, and ASA doesn't get a pat on the back for efforts as well. I promise you this, the profit sharing wouldn't be enough to stop the landslide.

Are you high? SkyWest riding the coatails of ASA?. Your airline is far and beyond better now that BH has taken over. There is a whole list of improvments ASA has implemented in the past year that SkyWest has had for years.

 

[Rominato]

taking applications

AS of 10/21 SkyWest was taking applications. Not sure if that's still the case or not. No word that I've heard on actual interviews.

 

[FlySacto]

Please people, the only thing to discuss is the HNL -700 domicile. Chips is building a condo complex on the north shore for us and I just got appointed to the FA selection committee. It's going to be sweet.... you'll see.

So by your litmus test you would also need to include....AirTran, Frontier, American, Southwest, JetBlue, Virigin America, United....etc..

At some point, flying was taken by every airline out there. People lost jobs and companies tanked because of any number of economic reasons...pay being one of them.

Calling SkyWest, Mesa, or any other pilot out there names for working where they work is pointless.

Maybe in a perfect airline world we would all work for one of 4 companies that did all the flying and pay was not an issue. As it is, it's dictated by CEO's and board members that answer to stock prices and bonus checks.

you have got to be kidding me

 

[ehaecker]

[SARCASM]Yes because we all know that each and every SkyWest pilot is directly responsible for SkyWay going under. I just now realized why I'm a dirtbag...[/SARCASM]

Whew, thought I was gonna have to remind you again! Now swing that gear when I tell you, and not a second before!

[BOX OFFICE]

Wow, excuse me for wishing to get off reserve. How dare I? What am I supposed to want? For us to furlough? Would that make you happy? I guess I am a dirtbag for wanting a better QOL?

Maybe you should have stayed at ASA...?

Some of you maybe pissed off that they tek yer job but you have to admit SKW management really knows how to run an airline without pissing off their workforce like most do. ALPA couldn't even jump aboard, must be some place. It's just amazing how so many companies choose the low side because business 101 calls for happy employees equals more profits.

I worked at a nonALPA carrier, Chicago Express. Management treated everyone with respect and as if they were real human beings.
Some guys pushed for an ALPA drive, it failed misserably.
Management was awesome. We got raises on occasion, other than our yearly raise. Vp of Ops and Chief Pilots would fly if a line pilot needed time off and we were short pilots.
I still speak to some of the guys that flew there, and they all agree they would go back if they opened another airline.
