As for JetJock, I've got 37 hours in an L-39. I know that’s not much but you’re definitely a “Jet Jock” when you’re in one, at least more so then in an RJ.
Costco huh I will have to look for some next time I'm there.

I looked up the L-39 looks like fun, you're right 37 hrs not much time, but hey you do have jet time so I digress.

see ya in Costco JJ16

BTW the Frontier flying has not been officially announced. Until you see it on their web site believe nothing. It is all a little fishy.
The rapid change in ASA out look is fairly interesting. There is no way that all of this is coming from a few 70's. My question is what it the next big announcement that will make sense of all of this?

Delta will be making an annoucement real soon. They will announce that they will be lowing the retirement age to 55(bankruptcy judge will allow this), thus requiring them to shift more flying to the regional level. Let the regionals bare the cost of training. ASA will be flying CRJ 900s to cover the flying. Theroy, all theroy.

Your company's most recent annual report disagrees with you.

Delta Codeshare Info:

SkyWest Airlines operated... 14 Brasilia turboprops under the SkyWest Airlines Delta Connection Agreement.
In exchange for providing the designated number of flights and performing SkyWest Airlines’ other obligations under the SkyWest Airlines Delta Connection Agreement, SkyWest Airlines receives from Delta on a weekly basis (i) reimbursement for 100% of its direct costs related to the Delta Connection flights
United Codeshare Info:

SkyWest Airlines and United are parties to a United Express Agreement entered into on July 31, 2003 (the “United Express Agreement”). As of December 31, 2005, SkyWest Airlines operated ...48 Brasilia turboprops under the United Express Agreement
In exchange for providing the designated number of flights and performing SkyWest Airlines’ obligations under the United Express Agreement, SkyWest Airlines receives from United compensation (subject to an annual adjustment) of a fixed-fee per completed block hour
According to the annual report, you had 62 Bro's, and all of them are operated under a fee for departure setup with Delta or United.

In addition, I cannot purchase a ticket on SkyWest AiIrlines, like I can purchase a ticket on Mesa (Air Midwest) or Go!. It would defy logic that SkyWest would operate a stand alone operation ("at risk") and not sell tickets, wouldn't it?

Next.

[ **** was cheaper...rent...gas..food...strippers...etc.

I love ASA pilots and im proud to be be one. If I worked for Skywest I guess the the line would go- "gosh stuff was cheaper...church...wife#1...wife#2...#wife3...shoe s made of wood...etc."

Shoes made of wood?
