United is shopping out AWAC's feed

The only thing I hate about Skywest is that we are in bed with United

The only thing I (and the majority of people) hate about Skywest is that you sold your fukcing soul agreeing to fly 99 seats for 50 seat rates. Doing a great job pulling up the industry.

1. I voted no. Too bad the only way for FOs to get 1000 PIC turbine at an airline with no attrition is expansion.
2. I never thought in my wildest dreams that I'd be stuck at a regional.
3. I wish UALPA and DALPA had the balls to say from the beginning "No aircraft will be flown in our colors unless they are flown by our pilots." (even props)

Too bad we don't live in a perfect world.

Hey Mongo, you seem bitter enough to have about as much time as me at the regionals. What perfect little airline do you work for? Did you PFT? Alot of that was going on back then. Just curious if you're a hypocrit? Don't worry, you can lie to me, I'll never know the difference.

I fly at the perfect little airline (note the sarcasm) that is having it's feed shopped by United. Never PFT'd, never will. But yes, I am bitter.

To put it simply, UAL et. al. are using these techniques to "Wal-Martize" this industry. Wal-Mart bullys their suppliers to drop costs until they get the lowest possible prices (using Chinese factories, etc.) and these mainline carriers have taken note.

I was reading an article in the Wall Street Journal last week that someChinese suppliers are unhappy with their WalMart contracts because they can't make a profit. A firm that makes microwave ovens thought they could do a deal as a "loss leader" and then get more valuable contracts. Didn't happen.

The only people at ual not suffering is the overly inflated upper management The real problem is the Harvard educated suit stuffed with poop, these blowhards and everyone that thinks like them are the reason why we are getting focked.

Wrong. They are just doing what they should be. Asking for the lowest price.

The reason we are focked is that there are places like Mesa where pilots will say "yes" and accept any bad contract to garner turbine time.
