New 175 sim is confirmed for SLC. Also, the hangar is beyond jam-packed with new-hires. If OO is shrinking, that's news to me...

Yeah, SKW management has always been very good at putting airplanes to work. They still find flying for the 50 seaters.

My only regret is not coming over from Mesa sooner.

The bosses might not have the pilots best intrest always at the top of their list. However, making money is at the top of investors list, and SKW is very good at adding flying capable of doing that.
Yes... That's why I said they are good at finding flying. i just wish they would have found a way to keep the bro flying.

They did. They kept the bro flying 10 years longer then it ever should have.

Yes. Believe me, their time had really come this time. Some Mx concerns came up last year and the company shut the whole fleet down within a matter of months.

I hope as all the other regional airlines fail, we take more flying so upgrades continue to increase. I'm on reserve now and would like to fly more so the more flying the better.

I heard a rumor we are going to add 80 more 175s next year for someone and then 100 MRJ JETS in 2018. I should upgrade by 2017 at that rate.

Try what?fly? Cause I'm planning to get out of it as soon as possible. The more of you who stay at the regionals hoping they survive, the better. I'll be gone. Well gone. That's why I try.
