While I don't work for SW I can guess that even management doesn't know whats goin on right now. Everything depends on UAL and how they do in this CH11 thing.

I now it stinks to hear this but your just going to have to sit tight a ride it out. Its anyones guess right now and things at Salt Lake are changing daily.

If you ask I saying this in ref. to what I saw ans see going on at my company (allegheny) in relation to pre/durring/post ch11 at US Air.

Just think of it this way, your many many steps ahead of others out there and in the regional industry thinks tend to get going fwd faster and better than other parts of the industry.

Hang in there

SkyWest hiring and Kit

Oh, yeah, Kit's real reliable, all right.

Nearly ten years ago, Kit, as FAPA, published an article about SkyWest in his Career Pilot "magazine." This article quoted a Dale Merrill, who was Vice-President of Human Resources at SkyWest. "Mister" Merrill said that if a regional hadn't hired you by something like 2500 hours that you were labeled as "having problems" and in need of a "hard look." This was ten years ago. While this comment supports my dim view of SkyWest's H.R. function, I would tend not to believe Kit's hiring statistics palaver.

I like LearLove's take on Kit's SkyWest information, above.
