lol ignorance is bliss:
Who is SkyWest, Inc.?
SkyWest, Inc. is the holding company that wholly owns all SkyWest subsidiaries. Years ago, SkyWest, Inc. owned SkyWest Airlines, Scenic Airlines and an Avis car rental company. With the purchase of ASA in 2005, SkyWest, Inc. took a more active and important role as the owner of both companies. The publicly traded stock is SkyWest, Inc. stock and current SkyWest, Inc. shareholders will now be owners of both SkyWest Airlines and ASA. Operations will remain separate. Separate books are kept for each company, however, the financial public releases and SEC filings will be consolidated reports from the two airlines.
LoL GoJets hired off the street and offered trans states furloughs the same position. Be ignorant bro

Dude, you're flying the same equipment for 1 company with 2 seniority lists... Put a lipstick on a turd, it's still a turd.

Bingo!!! Skywest Inc. has already invested training in the ASA F.O.'s. Would make sense for them to use them if ASA isn't. 1 company... 2 airlines... 1 money pot.

Your point is....? SkyWest should hire ASA fo's? Or SkyWest should only hire after ASA has everyone back on property? Is there supposed to be a kind of solidarity between the two groups? How about between pilots in general...
Not being a flamer, just wondering where you are going with this.

Well, I think they should give preferential hiring to asa guys for sure. And the interview process would only be hr, no tech or sim. They would go to the front of the class, seniority wise. The only catch would be, they would give up their number at asa I think. Would be nice if we were all alpa and on one list, and i think we might be going that direction. Wouldn't have to worry about all this junk.

Rumor has it that either airline is supposed to pick up furloughed guys from the other one if one starts hiring. so, in our case....the possibility of being picked up by Skywest if they need pilots before ASA recalls. I have not seen it in writing. Who knows if it will turn out to be true. That was where he was trying to go with that.

Right you are sir because the regional world revolves around Gojet. It's unfortunate that it came to 2 lists like in this example but it was due to the fact that the union failed to realize the importance of securing the flying for the future of tsa. They played with management with no leverage or time against what alpa was telling them and they lost because of a foolish agenda of MEC. Actually they didn't lose they moved on, the current pilots lost, that is if TSA is still around next year. Pretty sad actually.
