Southwest and Skywest

[Gr82Aviate]

Hello??????

We are having trouble staffing the aircraft we have now. I don't think that any more expansion is a good idea or we'll end up like Mesa, cancelling a boat load of flights due to no crews.

Maybe something better than 0 or 1% would help fix the staffing shortage?!!!!

yep im burned out, too much flying this year at skyw for me.

While we are on the SkyWest Crj-900 topic It should be noted that there was a Northwest Airlink Crj-900 on the ramp in St. George yesterday.

How long is the runway in St. George......can it even land there?............or do i smell FFFLLLaaaaMMMeeee

It can go into there Part 91. Skywest's 35 year plane flew in and out of there no problem. It is a short runway.

It was here. I saw it... Check flightaware for yesterday and today if you dont trust FI. (who wouldnt trust something they heard on flight Info?)

"You serious Clark", wouldn't surprise me, NWA selling Mesaba to Skywest after a while to make a buck or two. Or maybe they are doing some proving runs out west for future use of the 900's by XJ for NWA.

How big is the runway at St. George? Doesn't the Bro go in there only or does Skywest also bring the CRJ in to St. George?

Im sure this rumor will make it through the Mesaba ranks pretty quick and will just as quickly be confirmed or denied.

Amen!

I am gonna grin huge when OO starts cancelling flights cause we got no pilots, and they cant get us to come out on our day off!

Why do the pu$$ies come out on their day off for 1.5, I just dont get it? Stop bailing out mgt!

Just got out of recurrent. Atkins was in there saying that they are in talks with a carrier based in Texas that wants to ad some 900's, starting Jan 1.

ExpressJet since they are apparently too costly to operate for Continental. I can see it now "Skywest" dba "ExpressJet Express"

Once more, his last name is Atkin. There is no "s" at the end....

Carry on.........

Who gives a crap what his name is.

This stupid "skywest will continue to take over the world" quote is dead in the water.

CAL's scope is 50 seaters, AA's is a limited number of 70 seaters and SWA already has a regional....our cars.

Looks like it was still operating as a Bombardier flight. Came in from Mexico (paint shop, maybe?), cleared customs in El Paso, overnighted in SGU, and did SGU-SFO-PHX today.

Aren't the NW 900's configured differently than all the others?? maybe Uncle Jerry and the boys are looking to change up future airplanes....

 

[ImbracableCrunk]

Maybe the CRJ 900 is doing a tour. I think that might be the one that just got done with the air show over in France.

Paint is in house. Demo the airlines in MX.

Jerry visit recurrent? Ha! You know this is BS just from saying he stopped in. He's too busy playing with his millions in St. George.

 

[catIIIc]

On the CAL issue the company already asked for Scope relief and we said not only NO but HELL NO, then the company announced that they will be putting wingets on some of our 300 and 500's coincidence?

Even if we would give up Scope in our next contract(which we won't) a TA is about 2.5-3 years away so I doubt that they are negotating with us.

I really must be getting old. I'm no JA lover or hater but for god's sake why can't people (who work here at least!!) get the name right?!?!?!?!?!?

Oh yeah, "you're" vs "your" and "there" vs "their" drive me nuts too. It's NOT just a spelling mistake, it is not knowing 6th grade English!!!

:uzi:

WHEW....

Thanks guys. I needed that.
Like HomerJ said:

[Grey Ghost]

Wrong info. Skywest was awarded the flying but declined because of the short term nature of the flying .

Wait a minute, how long is the contract with Midwest Airlines for????????? :smash:
