Where the heck is Skywest getting all these pilots to fly those planes? I would have thought the supply would have run out by now. I sometimes want to believe there is a "shortage" of pilots, but really it's just a shortage of pay and compensation. I guess the post card with a lanyard helped a few hundred make the tough decision . We've been hearing about "pilot shortage" for decades!

The person you are referring to isn't even a rep. Hes a member of the PWG and has the IPB days to work the PBS awards.

Anyone see the latest ploy to attract new hires?



So this is what desperation looks like. While this'll most likely be an AA aircraft in DFW, I'm sure pilot recruiting will use this aircraft for "road shows." Imagine the excitement this'll create when N884AS (A 15 year old, washed up and ragged 50 seater) rolls up at airports near college campuses/flight schools.

Looks like somebody still isn't used to the after landing flow.

WTH are those IPB days? I see them on the awards, but I have no idea what that means.

To keep them non Union. But hey, they don't get 4 weeks of vacation with trip touch, 12% company contribution, unlimited sick calls, paid fatigue calls (not out of your sick bank), unlimited commuter drops, 25% premiums for health care, LTD to age 65, and good work rules.

In other words, they give them uninformed pilots just enough to pacify them. Anyway, we don't need to be non-Union in order to merge. Not that that's going to happen.

I got here because I (mistakenly) believed working for a contract leading regional would provide opportunities to advance my career. All I've gotten is the privilege to rot in the right seat for 8 years.

When I see 884 painted up like this all I see is another aircraft removed from the Delta contract with 14 more pilot positions at ASA about to vaporize.
