Skywest Hiring?

[sstearns2]

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.

I bet you would love it you little Skywest dirtbag. You might want to wish for a major to be hiring. They may have a higher pay scale for flying a DC-9. How does the "over-ride" work again for the CRJ-900?

Korihor? Is that really you? Man, it's been a while.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Mesa have a higher hourly rate than Skywest for the 900?

mmmmno.

Hourly payscale is higher. Not to mention profit sharing here at SkyW which bumps me up a few more bucks and hour. Stock purchase plan is awesome. I could probably get really specific here but don't have the energy.

You don't disagree with Moroni Metro. He da man. And yes, he hates skywest enough that he would be happy to see you without a job....if you work for skywest. Better yet...Tell you what, why don't ya head on down to phoenix on a Thurs. night and go the The Library. Rock all night with the GStringer, and maybe, if you're lucky Moroni will buy you a beer. And then, and only then can you understand the Moroni Metro....Good luck!

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.

Yet so many of them are.

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.

"Super Colon Destroyer 2000"

HAHA!

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.
