I'll be the first to welcome the Skywest crew's to
ORD.

We have yet to get a memo from Mgt. saying your
here or/are welcome. Non the less, you are welcome here
in ORD. Your company has treated us very well in LAX.
They did a great job, I'd like to say the same for ORD, but
can't... I know you guy's don't have a crew room to speak
of; but you do.

Your always welcome in Air Wisconsin's crew room.
Don't be afraid to come on down.

Just ask any CSR and they will direct you to the crew room.
You might need an escort considering you don't have ORD
ID's. Just ask them; they will if able.

Have your Captian call 1-773-601-3433 (Crew Room) or
1-733-601-3500 (Operations) for an escort. Or you can
save yourself the trouble and money. And just ask a CSR
if you can borrow their phone to call the crew room for
an escort.

In our crew room; you'll find, a bunch of crazy people...
Just kidding. You'll find access to WSI WX data and some
really nice folks. MX facilities if need be. And a food
directary if needed. (Discount on food).

Please feel at home while in ORD.

If you have question's regarding all the crazyness about
taxing in ORD, please feel free to private msg. me.
ORD is different, but the controllers do know what there
doing. There is a flow pattern for taxi along with do's and
do not's. I'd be happy to help any pilot with this.

Welcome to Chicago SKYWEST.

Just a foot note. MESA won't get the same respect...
They can park in the 9R pad at the West end... Next to
the scum pond...

Thanks.....

About those taxi directions, if you are told to follow the RJ and it is us(SKYW)......... DONT DO IT!!! If you hear someone getting yelled at, It is most likely us.

We appreciate the courtesy Thrust

Chicago isn't bad once you do it a few times. You'll soon recognize the routes to the runways and will have them rolling off your toung. But one of the biggest things to remember is NEVER STOP ON A TAXIWAY unless you're going to cross a runway. If the alley is full or the gate is taken, just keep going, circle back and tell ground when there's a break on the radio.

Hey you Skywest guys,

I think it is safe to say that applies to us at ACA too. ( at least for as long as we are still here)

OPS number is 773-894-8386.

Try the food court over in the AA terminal. Most give a crew discount.

Need some ideas on crash pads? We have a list of local crash pads and hotels in our crew room. Come on in and ask someone.

Welcome
 
I gotta say all that is great to hear.

All AWAC planes get a "what's up" wave from me from now on as we taxi past in LAX...

Take it easy.
 
Nice to see the premier UAX carriers (AWAC, SKW & ACA) getting along in ORD...maybe United could learn that trying to pit the regional airlines against each other isnt going to work...hopefully other "business partners" will take notice that pilots will remain unified under adversity.

Let us not forget to support our brothers and sisters over at MESABA...they need our support the most!!!

That wasn't you then the other week getting ground all worked up with "SKYWEST NEVER NEVER STOP ON A TAXI WAY! GET IT MOVING". (I am not shouting but ground was!)

Like beechnut said, if you have to do another lap of A or B taxiway just keep going - hey remember the clock is still running!!

Welcome to ORD and again to the AWAC crew room.
 
There is a lot of love here between the UAL Express carriers... it's refreshing to see. The more I read about AWAC, the more I want to be a part of their operation. You guys better watch yourselves, I'm starting to think that there are some Regional pilots out there with some class. ;)
