Skywest?

[XPOO]

I'm sure Nevets will have no problem cashing those SkyWest checks though.

 

[propsarebest]

Skywest has only had the ASAP program for the past 3 years. How do you explain the 12 years before that?

Nevets, you're at it again. You can't stand Skywest so you have to take any positive and spin it.

OO has had the ASAP program long before that...

Has it been in place for 15 years? And are ASAPs the only reason the streak continues?

Source?

I work on the ASAP program and the pilot side was in place before dispatch, I've been with the program for a little over 3 years........

I can tell you that ASAP for dispatchers has been around for several years more than 3. Consensus among the oldbies runs it about 8-9 years.

No it hasnt... No where near 8-9 years... I would know that!

Well, you know oldbie memories; They get hazy. But I know it's been more than 5.

I actually wasnt taking a position one way or the other. I completely understand why someone would go to work at Skywest when considering commuting/not commuting.

I was just stating for all the other regionals that have certificate action once a year that thats what ASAP is for.

As for the best dispatch initial training curriculum, I'm sure thats what they tell everyone at all the airlines.

I'm sure Nevets will have no problem cashing those SkyWest checks though.

Oh? I thought my company was bought by ASA and not Skywest? But either way, I have NO problem cashing in my check, as long as it cashes. But I would prefer that my check did indeed come from Skywest as part of ONE airline rather than an alter ego.

 

[Nevets]

By the way, speaking of ASAPs, I've asked before with no luck but I'm wondering if ANYONE could produce the MOU for the pilots ASAP?

Im pretty sure the check will come from SkyWest, Inc., which OWNS ASA. but im sure you already knew that... SkyWest, Inc., bought ASA and ExpressJet, and also owns SkyWest Airlines.

But you already know all that...

Question?
Why would anyone go to Skywest vs. Any other regional.
Koolaid drinkers here is your chance to shine.
Naysayers, here is you chance to illustrate.
PBR

Because Skywest gives you lube instead of giving it straight up. And instead of taking it in Newark you take it on the West coast where it's warmer and the coolaid sweeter making it less painful.

 

[CX880]

I loved working at SkyWest.. I think anyone can say they work with "great people" etc., but I honestly enjoyed the folks I flew with on a daily basis. Living on the west coast was, for me, a prerequisite, and that's where I was based. I had no desire to go to a major because I had no degree, and didn't want to pursue one just to do the same job I was doing. I felt that the equipment was always good, the training exceptional, and the overnights were as decent as could be considering Inyokern on the EMB! I'm not driven by money, so topping out at SW made my life very good. I had to leave to pull my family back together, and that was sad. Now, I'm able to re-join. It was a dream job for me, and I hope to go back very soon.

I'm taking it that you're serious?

They don't/won't care.......until it's too late, that is.

Oh ok, it's just that certain people say that it was ASA who bought XJT, not Skywest. But like I said, as long as the check clears, you can say it comes from bananas Inc.

How's about...SkyWest, as in SkyWest, Inc. And when you get right down to it, which airline's money was used to buy both airlines? There's probably a good reason it's not called ASA, Inc. or ExpressJet, Inc.

Yes, it's a shell-game. They made it "SkyWest, Inc" especially for the extra dense.

Oh wow! I better go tell JA and BR about it cause they say differently.

Here's the real shell game, and trust me, it's not for the benefit of Skywest pilots:


The merger is by and among Sky West, Inc, Express Delaware Co, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Sky West Inc, and ExpressJet Holdings Inc, with ExpressJet being the surviving entity and merged with ASA, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sky West Inc, with ASA being the surviving entity.

And here's the best part, as seperate entities your airline can once again be sold or liquidated as JA sees fit. Enjoy the ride!

Yup, it would be stupid of him. So I highly doubt he will sell or liquidate ASA after everything he's put into them. Face it, you guys are stuck with us now! Thank you for all you do, especially funding my slush fund with that Skywest Inc profit sharing check!!!
