On 3/4 Steve Hart, a VP (of market development I believe)said he expects us to start serving SLC under UA colors starting in the May schedule. He didn't state where it would come from. I have seen ancillary statements and reports supporting this. He also held out that we might be flying D colored aircraft into UA hubs soon.

Fellas, the routes out West are growing for all of us. ASA will start coming to SLC, DEN, Oakland....we were given a ton of jeps with these cities and LAX, SFO, and many more......I don't know how many will be alternates and how many will be destinations. Looks like we'll be struggling for gate space.

Theflyingtito,
Your name should be the flying idiot! Are the other pilots on this forum impressed with his behavior? Nope.
You sure sound professional... Do you treat your other crew members this way if they "step out of line" in your eyes? This is a public forum and people are entitled to their opinions - and that includes General Lee. I also found Air Whisky on the United website when I plugged in SLC-SFO.
So what if the General is sometimes sarcastic - he is CORRECT most of the time. Your "tough guy" attitude is sooooooooooooo impressive. I guess we will try to avoid you on the playground.
Grow up!!!!!

Hey,
The baiting, and name calling on this board is the same as any other internet forum.
It seems the ones making the loudest and challenging posts were probably the same ones who were yelling taunts and challenges from the back seat of their moms station wagon on the ride home from school.
I can see them sitting in the darkened basement of their parent's house, in their underwear, eating boogers and typing on their sooperhighspeedcustombuiltmonsterpc plotting how they are gonna feel from the left seat of the 747/777 just as soon as they get the commercial written knocked out and that makes them qualified for the majors.
For all the posters that act properly, "keep on keepin'on, brother"(Joe Dirt), to all the others who feel the need to belittle and challenge people posting their thoughts, chill and have another booger and change those briefs once and awhile, (me).

Poolies
Poolies,
As a previous poolie, I know all about the swim, the water, etc... I swam 6 mo. before getting out, while my sim-partner jumped rope (do whatever it takes)
, and that was before the industry fell off the ugly tree. For those of you who hung on to your jobs, don't give notice until you get a firm date, and DON'T BURN BRIDGES, it's a small world. For the others, I'm sorry and I feel your pain.
Let me attempt to offer some encouragement. Skywest since prior to y2k has been posting more revenue each quarter than the previous years' by significant margins (all numbers available in the annual reports posted in PDF format on the corporate website http://www.skywest.com/cp-menu4.html) and has made all their large decisions (A/C orders, training requirements, domiciles, maint. bases etc.) very conservatively so as to allow them to keep large cash reserves in the bank. Subsequently, they have never had to furlough ANYONE unlike the majority, so when you do get here, you get to keep that coveted position. As far as finding out what number you are in the pool, I wouldn't worry about it. Reason being is, the nice lady you're trying to get a hold of is also the one who's working hard on the planning to get you here, and knowing that info doesn't make any other life decisions any easier to make (from experience, take it or leave it).
Getting the jet as a new hire depends both on how you scored on the interview, and your experience level. I believe there are seperate pools as well, and it's not unheard of to be sent EMB stuff and get a jet class.
So basically what I'm saying is you're in the pool at what is probably THE BEST regional in the country who isn't going to drop kick you during class (unless you drop kick yourself), and who's probably got one of the largest potentials for growth and expansion of any airline in the country.
Finally for the bitter ones without an informed opinion, please take it elsewhere to a general airline flamer thread, because like you, it doesn't belong around Skywest.
Take care guys and keep on keeping on (borrowed from above)
