Not going to happen. Even if he's not the CEO, he'll still be Chairman of the Board. Then when gets real old and senile he will step down to just Board member until he dies. The only way he'll leave SkyWest is if we are bought out and that is a bigger possibility than most think. But, he's not quitting SkyWest voluntarily.

Oh do tell, sounds like a great bedtime story/theory!

Too bad for you then.

Typical over inflated sense of ego because you wok for MAINLINE Skywest. Get over yourself. You and no other pilot have ANYTHING to do with the overall success of the company. Instead of wishing harm on fellow employees of your corporation, how about wishing the best for all of the employees - including XJT.

And, no. I don't, nor ever have, worked for SKW or XJT or ASA. I've just observed many years of misguided arrogance on the part of so many SKW pilots on this forum. Now, I've got a couple of friends who fly for you guys who are just embarrassed by the attitudes you show on this and your internal forum. So, apparently you guys really DO drink the Koolaid. Jeez.

You tell him, Killer. But just so YOU understand he DOESN'T work for MAINLINE SkyWest.

Makes you look kinda stupid.

Misfortune should not be wished on the XJT pilots. I have several buddies over there & all of them good guys, besides none of this is their fault! Good luck to all under the Inc umbrella.

This SkyWest vs. XJT junk needs to stop. Because in case no one else has noticed, while we're busy squabbling over who's got the better contract and work rules, who needs a union or how ineffective the union is, and who is wrecking the finances at Inc., all of our wholly-owned competitors are quietly accepting/being forced longevity caps and lousy 10 year contracts in exchange for flow-through. Mainline is making record profits for the time being, but they still treat the regionals and their pilots like the dog doo they stepped in while climbing out of their Maybachs. They are counting on our selfishness and willingness to put up with a "few" years of misery in the hopes that we'll climb right into the right seat of an airbus or MD-80 without having to go to through the hassle of interviewing. The reality is that we're all in this together, if we want to have nice places to work while we're waiting for the call, or in case that call never comes.

Truly amazing. Your company posted a real bad first half of the year. They have announced the parking of a substantial part of the fleet. Then they announce yesterday they paying a dividend to share holders, and not one of you care! Your more interested in the touchy feely get along games between the diffrent sided of the house. Where is the outrage over miss use of company cash? If we ever going to increase our leverage or power we need to think like a businessmen not a high school student council.

You work for United, right? People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Your management has been raiding the piggy bank for years.

Nevets

I saw that! Something like the 77th consecutive quarter that they paid out a dividend. Personally, I don't care if they pay out dividends or compensate executives with stock. But don't cry poor and ask for concessions from the front line employees of you are.
