DEN, SFO, and ORD. All Big Shiny Real Airplanes With Engines Under The Wings! I really hope we get a flow through to "mainline" some day.

Wow.. Im guessing based on your past posts you LASA.. At first take i would say LXJT.. But if you are at ASA your "beef" is with XJT i have no doubt that if SkyWest did not buy XJT, you would be in E175 training soon also... I personaly don't think the BOD will take much more from both sides.. I see big changes comming soon. Real soon..

More vague threats from a SkyWest guy. Yawn.

Do tell... what big changes? In what time frame?

I don't disagree with you... just want to hear your theory. If you actually have inside knowledge that is. Otherwise, thanks for clearing that up for us Captain Obvious.

Do you guys really want to stop the whipsaw? If so, the first step is to make SAPA your NMB recognized bargaining agent. Anything less, and you are for whipsawing LASA and LXJT as is currently happening.

Does ALPA really want to stop the whipsaw Nevets? Looks like your ALPA brothers at PSA just agreed to a TA with concessionary 900 rates.....probably with a nice shiny flowthrough scheme attached....

So that makes it ok for Skywest pilots? Did you just rationalize whipsawing? Do two wrongs ever make a right? Will Skywest pilots ever do the right thing for the betterment of this segment of our profession? Will they ever lead? Are there any other excuses left?

Anyway, assuming you are correct, Skywest pilots can still stop the whipsaw from our CEO, even if another pilot group has decided to exacerbate it.

And to add to that, recently read at DNN that once all the 717's come on-line, they plan on limiting the few remaining RJ routes to 350 miles.
