Socalplt,
I agree Skywest is better able to secure aircraft financing than others, and this saves a great deal of money when bidding for flying. But to imply by omission that we (SKYW Pilots) are not partly culpable by flying 700's for 200 rates is insulting to many in our profession. We, as a group, foolishly voted in favor of this almost two years ago.
Uncle Jerry & Co. astutely used our affirmation of these short-sighted pay rates, good financing, the abuse of pilots during training, random policy changes/interpretations, abrogation of seniority, and a good operation to put Skywest at the front of the list to replace AWAC for United.
To the few primarily blaming me personally for this mess,
The root of your anger stems from management decisions made somewhere between ATW and Elk Grove Village years ago. I am willing to silently remain on the list of those to blame, but Skywest pilot's should not be at the top.
Good luck to everyone at Air Wisconsin and the other carrier's affected by this transition.
