So about these United -700s coming off contract. Any idea what base those airplanes are being pulled out of?

I am curious what the take of the SKYW group is on the agreement UA announced with Commuter today? I have had more than one SKYW jumpseater and ex-SKYW new hires tell me this program was going to be offered to SKYW over any other carriers. Anyone know why SKYW was not chosen?

The ones that should have started being parked in the desert about four months ago? Republic is helping to keep those things going. The bulk of them are now in IAH.

American turned their Q operator into a 145 operator and somebody in Willis tower overheard?
It really isn't incentive at skyw. Only 3,800 pilots need to get called in for an interview before a new hire would. Not too many.

The outstation bases (PSP,FAT, TUS, COS) typically have very early morning departures and very late arrivals at night. Most of the pairings either start real early or get off really late(or both). It would put you commuting in the day before, or going home the day after a lot of the time. Living in domicile would be fine if you don't mind 5am shows or 11pm releases.
Hub pairings on the other hand typically don't have as many early shows/late releases as the aircraft overnight at the outstations. They still have some flying like this, but the majority of the pairings will have mid morning-mid afternoon/evening show and release times. Much easier for commuting.
Get on SkyWestonline when you're eligible and you can look at all of the different domiciles pairings under the PBS page.
