SkyWest or ExpessJet

Skywest. I work for XJT and see this place going down the tube in 07. There are no plans for the 69 planes, regardless of what all the kool aid drinkers say.

Take it for what it's worth, but if you read the "crackpipe", it looks like they may have found something for 25 of them.

What do you think life at UPS would be like without the IPA?

I think I would rather be at Skywest then.

Chuck Norris...

Wait, what was the question?

Since 1954, the year of Chuck Norris' birth, Roundhouse Kick-related fatalities have increased thirteen thousand percent.

Skyway and Mesaba are two regionals that I can think of that hired strong and then a week later were furloughing.

That was 3+ years ago for Skyway

Skywest pilot are flying a 90 seat aircraft for a 50 seat wage.

Doesn't DAL scope prevent anything larger than 70 seats?

 

[Gobi Gred]

76 seats. SkyWest's 900s are currently configured with 70 seats but will probably add the extra 6 at some point.

ExpressJet is nothing more than a phantom organization created on paper that will be nothing more than a faint memory six years from now.

Wow...Are we going to fall off the face of the earth?? Umm...

Just want to see what other pilot think. I have been offered a job by SkyWest and ExpressJet. If I take the skywest job I will be starting on monday august 21 in the CRJ. If I take expressjet I would be starting in September. I think that both airlines would be great to work for. I don't really know anyone at skywest so I haven't been able to find find out much about the quality of life there. I would get based out of ORD if I went to skywest so, I would have to commute from STL to ORD. What are the schedules like at Skywest and the number of days you can have off?

So did you start Skywest today?
