I am just posting what was on the Skywest online (employees only) board. To those Coex pilots reading this I know that this may not be the best news, but please remember that the SkyWest pilots had NOTHING to do with this agreement and are just going where the company tells us to go. I hope there are no ill feelings and look forward to seeing some of the furloughed COEX guys coming on board.
