I don't think anyone at Skywest wants regionals to take more mainline flying. All of us want mainline to take it back so they have to hire us. MatchPoint may have been happy with his job at Skywest but that doesn't mean he didn't want mainline to shrink the regionals.

I don't think a "typical Skywest apologist" is a person who wants Skywest to grow. The typical Skywest apologist is just a person who is satisfied with their job while they wait for a mainline job.

SkyWest apologist? I challenge you to go back and read my previous postings. Not sure why I'm responding to such stupidity but I've always said SkyWest is a good company to work for and yes I enjoyed my time there. See previous analogy (I won't repost because snowflakes are falling from the sky). SkyWest will continue to exist long into the future BUT their future isn't bright. I've said it over and over how SkyWest best days are behind them and they will have a hard time going forward. Especially with airlines like 9E, PSA, GoJet, Mesa and Compass dragging down rates. Watch and see what happens at SKW in Oct. 2015! If you have no clue what I'm talking about then you shouldn't be posting here.

Again, I challenge you to find anything different, to find anywhere where I said scope will be relaxed or that I wanted scope relaxed or that SkyWest will take over the world and shut everyone down.......blah blah blah. Find one sentence where I said anything contrary to what I’ve posted here. Bottom line, you’re flaming without any proof which seriously calls your character into question.


Fact is mainline holds the magic 8-ball and mainline pilots currently have to leverage to influence said 8-ball. Now all those who actually know me know I'm still walking the same line I was 6, 12, 18 month ago and making the same statements.

But I get it, I’ve moved on and now you don’t like that I’m actually doing what I always said I would do…..voting against outsourcing. Bit of solid advice, before you post flamebait do a little homework first. Especially since all my postings are public.

MatchPoint,

You're a pilot. Not an airline CEO. Getting industry predictions from you is like listening to JA explain adverse yaw.

Or like having you explain pilot Qol to pilots.

You did with the SFO construction cancellations.

Although, it's entirely possible you didn't realize it was a discussion about QOL. But that wouldn't really be a point in your favor.

Sure you do. You defend management and crew support practices a lot. The SFO construction is one good example. The reason the pilots pull out the pitchforks on you on this forum is because sitting at your desk in SGU you clearly don't understand what yours or AS's decisions do to pilots QOL.

Pilots don't complain about crew support just to complain. They seriously make some crappy decisions that screw with our quality of life especially on reserve and somehow people like you think it's all OK.

Amen brother or sister. I would just point out that JO does far more harm to our reserves. Anita and Klen just sign(ed) off on it.
