SkyWest to receive more CRJ900's

[homerjdispatch]

hey beavis....

this is fresh off the press. really.

The reason why SkyWest had to 'settle' for the 900's is because of the delays in the A380 program. the original plan was to acquire 14 A380's outfitted with 76 seats.

Uhhhh....you said aquire....

But seriously....


Dont quit your day job!

SkyWest Airlines will take delivery of an additional eleven CRJ900s beginning in October of this year. We will add the aircraft at a rate of approximately two per month beginning in October, bringing our 900 fleet total to 17 by May 2007. While Delta will decide the market placement of the aircraft, we anticipate all 900s to be SLC-based, providing Connection flights in both SLC and ATL.

I posted this on another thread but it applies here also.

Two things to look for as signs of ASA's future:

1. JA gets rid of the clowns currently running ASA = We Have A Future.
2. Skywest creates a base in ATL = We Are History.

Everytime I read his memos, it makes me sick to my stomach. So sick I can't work.
Anyone else feel their stomach rumbling?

76 Seats----no more, no less. Will we eventually allow more seats to fill in towards the 90 allowed? I don't think so. We are still awaiting our 100 seater, and a 90 seater would delay that even further. In reality I can understand the fact that we could use some first class seats in our RJs, and those larger RJs can provide that to a point. Hopefully those extra 6 seats can pay for the larger plane and gas, and actually give Delta a profit and carry more pax to my awaiting 764 to London Gatwick. Hasta. And I hope you do get those wages up to 76 seat wages, whatever they are. Cause hey, at least you guys are profitable, since you don't have to pay the difference in high gas prices........


Bye Bye--General Lee

 

[Gobi Gred]

General, You do know that SkyWest was profitable before fee for departure, right?

 

[SKYWRJGUY]

General was much more interesting when he simply quoted others with no additional input. Suffering from what might be otherwise hypothesized as penis envy, he manages to point out his airplane by name in nearly every post--serves no purpose really. While I don't profess to speak for a majority of the pilots or JA, I cannot believe he thinks lobbing some 90s our way is an attempt to pacify the group--I think he knows were a bit fed up with the one-rate BS (among other items) and he (or BH) is simply unwilling to loosen his reigns a bit. I'd just assume fly the 50 for the 90 rate, since my margin is higher (seatay).

I hope you get some 787-2300's to bring pax to my awaiting CRJ-100.5 with Delta logo. It is complete with smelly lavatory and ghetto boarding process.
