SkyWest Q400's

[PropPiedmont]

The quetions is what colors are they painted in? Horizon has 3 new 400's parked in the desert.

They're Horizon Q400s. Looks like new paint. College team liveries.

One is Boise state airlplane. The others I was wondering if its in primer or actually painted green?

It is the U of O airplane.

And obviously neither do any of you. Considering your pay rates and work rules are no better.

Its not all about work rules and pay rates.

but they get the opportunity to pay for those same rates and rules...so it must be better.

Is this a chicken and egg argument?

The above photo does appear to be one of the two parked in front of our hanger, the other is appears to be blue, white and orange. I haven't seen them up close, but they have been there for a few months. The word I have heard from a FED, our mechanics and the local chief pilot is that they belong to Horizon who is delaying delivery for some reason.

They don't want to take anymore until they sell some jets.

I saw this on the IBT message board and I thought it was a joke! It must go along with Horizon's Q400 "green machine" propaganda.

If you guys ever get the chance to get close to one you'll see a fancy green sticker next to the door stating the Q400 has 30-40% less emissions and is 30-40% more fuel efficient. Compared to what? It doesn't tell you. It must mean that since it is broke a majority of the time it doesn't burn fuel which produces less emissions.

Here's the latest on the Skywest Q400s. United has asked Skywest to fly 11 Q400s out of LAX for them. Skywest says the crew and maintenance training and investment would not be worth it unless United gave them enough work to fly 40 of them. United has said they need to think about it, so for now it's all on hold. I'm sure United could find someone else to do the 11 Q400 flying.

When does Mesa's DEN Dash8 contract expire?

I heard it was length of contract, not number of airframes. United wants 2 years and Jerry won't bring on a new airframe for a short contract. The only way they take on that number of aircraft is if they can sell CRJ100 and 200's.

Emb120 + 5%
hell no!

Hey that's a better deal than when you guys decided to fly the larger jets for 0% more. You guys should have been happy with that offer.

The Q400 flown off the UAL seniority list would be a section one violation.

Those that don’t know what section one is at Skywest, that would be the labor protection section of a CBA.

Y'all clueless dumbasses out there better listen up here. Aircraft of a weight and capacity such as the Q400 cannot be outsourced under the United pilot contract. Give it up.

Ahhh yes, section one of the good ole' CBA. That's what Tilton uses to filter his coffee with.
