[nimtz]

Uhhhhh...... Im pretty sure he was making fun of scrap spelled scrape....

:beer:
Thanks for clearing that up on the first attempted call dispatcher. I know it must of been hard to lean all the way forward in your chair to type, but then again SKYW dispatchers do shoulder the voice of reason around here. Perhaps I was making fun of him en lite of the fact that spell check Nazis have always been celebrated for their irrelevance on FI.

I fly corporate, so I really don't have skin in the game with regards to the price of fuel and the cost effectiveness of 50-seat regional jets.

Its kinda funny reading all the DOOM AND GLOOM here since oil has started to spike the last couple weeks, when that spike is entirely driven by fear, emotion, and speculation. True it causes the price to rise just like a reduction in supply...but it'll be temporary before coming back to earth and then later rising due to true fundamentals.

Yea, corporate flight departments and fractionals fared so well during the last downturn.

Yea, corporate flight departments and fractionals fared so well during the last downturn.

We bought a factory-new airplane and flew a record amount at my company in 2009, and set another record in 2010...so yeah, while many jobs in business aviation were lost, other operations scraped by, some maintained their status quo, and others flourished.

Or perhaps you weren't...

Admit your mistake, learn from it, and move on. It really is an easy concept to master. But then again, most arrogant people can't admit when they make a mistake. Or in their eyes, it wasnt a mistake, it was someone elses fault!

This is why United wants their routes back that Uncle Jerry is making loads of cash on with his at-risk flying?

It's true, UAL is drooling at the cash OO is making on the pro-rate stuff and is trying to find ways to get a piece of that pie.

 

[HDA]

Sir, yes, sir! 15 hour duty day? Multiple aircraft swaps? APU and pack deferrals? Your wish is my command.

Yep.....so true..from what I hear from my buddies at Skywest. Used to be a fine company to work for...now I am hearing stuff like "Mesa with money" and "the defered way is the prefered way". To bad.

That margin was inflated by one-time gains. I'm not so sure SKYW Inc. is resting comfy with that quarterly result.
