xjet taking more united from flying skywest

[hou757]

Both airlines have their "tools" I was in line at the food court at IAH the other day and Tried to make conversation with a SkyWest pilot. Let's just say Mr. Attitude did not want to talk to Xjet.

Why isn't this one locked up yet? Seriously.

 

[www.]

OO is making millions while ASA/XJT are losing millions. Must be those 180 junky CRJ200s SkyWest is flying.

Correction sir. ASA is making a margin, very slight but xjet is bleeding double digits.

I will now refer to my gf's crown royal bag holding all her toys as a "bag full of dicks." HAHA... priceless

 

[aussieflyboy]

You guys can have Winnipeg, that place is cesspool of drunks, meth, and crime.

Sounds like fun.

Completely wrong. XJT is the one making money these days....and no...I'm not pulling that info out of my arse.

High oil will eventually park all of your 50 seaters. Congrats!


Godspeed!

Unfortunately, I don't agree with you. I have recently dealt with more smug attitudes from Express Jet types than I've ever dealt with at any other airline. It's like a bag full of dicks over there.

You do know that XJT has about 2700 pilots? I run into more douchbags from Skywest than anywhere else but I also know that is a fraction of a fraction of the 3000+ pilots you guys have.

You guys are so cute arguing about who gets to fly what toy airplane to which corner of the sandbox. Is there a sign up sheet or waiting list, because I'm pretty sure my 6 year old would like to get in on the action.

 

[IBNAV8R]

This is kind of like two maggots fighting over who owns the turd.

 

[Mookie]

You guys realize that you're arguing about who has the prettier "Barbie Fun Jet" right?

(and yes, I called it that when I flew it at SkyW).

You might want to check the DOT FORM 41.

2007 -6.1
2008 -8.7
2009 -8.9
2010 -13.2

Sorry Charlie.

Says the guy involved in a 100 page thread about the most uncomfortable jumpsuit aboard a plane with an Eskimo on the back.

Yeah. We already knew this. We'll continue this discussion when the 2011 numbers come out.

I disagree, I spent 6 months in a crashpad full of xjet guys as the only skywest occupant. Great bunch of guys who'd just come back from furlough, I still run into them a lot in ORD. I hope we get to share one list at some point..

 

[bobbyice]

I've had nothing but good interactions with Xjet guys in ORD. I too hope we are a single list someday along with Acey.

 

[dojetdriver]

Ahhhh, no. Money is lost due to merger costs.... WAY more expensive than anyone on the Board anticipated.... Why do you think Mr. Atkin's position was split? The BOD split his position because THE MERGER is EXPENSIVE.

Makes you wonder where the hell that "80 million dollars in synergies" number came from. Amazing what you can sell to shareholder etc to try and push something through.

As others have said, sucks and sorry you ran into some bad apples.

However, I wouldn't exactly say that I was impressed with the SKW pilot group whenever I transited SLC back in 2008 during the first buyout attempt.

I thought it was just urban legend about the SKW guys coming over to our planes at the hardstand wanting to look at them since "they're going to be flying them soon". Only to have a spikey haird EMB120 ****************************** nozzle FO tell our FA that he couldn't wait to upgrade on the EMB145 he was commuting home on to IDA.

Classy, real classy..........

"We are not that junky skywest crj 200!"

ALL crj's are junky...Hate riding in those things....Especially on long flights that should be 727/737/DC-9 class airplanes, even a CV580 would be more comfortable.
