Skywest to fly for US Airways

[amcnd]

Writing is on the wall for SKYW. operating old 200s at a loss eventually will catch up with you.

Im sure we will be flying our old 200's that are paid for.. They make us money.. And im guessing this is just for a few years then 900's will come.

We can only hope scope is reined in by then.

That was 6 years ago!!! These majors can't see one month in front of them, let alone 6 years in the past!!

Sniper,

While I don't doubt what you say, how would this unite too warring pilot groups?

Settle the lawsuit...USAPA is gone and ALPA back.......AMR had their pilots union on its knees with 45 million slap in their face, I can tell you USAPA does not have 45 dollars to give...3 way merge more votes for ALPA

They had the chance in bankruptcy. East and west will be fully integrated when the last Easty retires.

Just like Chip did? NO they did not...and i know very well what happen there, very well...

unless one of the contract carriers in the US Air system (Rep, Mesa, PSA operate the 70 seaters CRJ700/900 and ERJ170/175) sheds some 70 seaters they cannot add any more 70 seaters WRT our scope.

The limit is 110 (ish) and they are at that now.

Fr8tmastr could probably give some better details.

Starting this fall the PSA 700's will be getting first class seats. That will drop the seating capacity down to 68 pax.

It's the size of the plane. Can PSA buy a 757 and equip it with 68 seats too? Wrong!

757 with 68 seats! Hahahahahah.
However they can equip it with less seats and go below the 70 seats. There's already a CRJ/700 series that has few seats. Management even talked about it with the Q400's (Which has a 68 seat version with first class). So yes they can do it.

Unless there's a MTOW clause, it's free game---just like Legend took advantage of.
