In the mean time, it seems like the 175 flying is balancing that planned shrinking out nicely, and even increasing flying a bit.

As far as UA taking back their flying, I think there are few at SkyWest who want to go to the majors (myself included) who wouldn't welcome that with open arms! Take it back!
I fly the bro and trust me. No one is being hired into it, bases are shrinking like mad (FAT went 50-30 in 4 months) and lines are getting cut. a huge cut coming in december.
They haven't announced it but if I'm still on the bro by xmas 2015 I'd be extremely surprised.

A guy got fired for doing just that at the TUS overnight.

Harmons is an amazing grocery store, you'll love it. Good job on getting Clarence banned.

Not saying I'd ever do that. Just saying that there are probably more freeloaders in hotel breakfast rooms than we probably think...

So he went to another hotel with a better breakfast? Guess I am confused but I don't get out to TUS much. Kinda sad how I consider places like SMF for my bid because of the good breakfast there.

I think he lived in TUS and would swing by the overnight hotel on his way to the airport. That hotel does have a pretty good breakfast.

Trader Joe's is also just around the corner from Whole Foods

I saw that too. But I'm not really a prepackaged foods kinda guy.

It's funny, I'm writing this from Google San Francisco's office, where we get amazing gourmet cooked-to-order breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, plus insane amounts of snacks, 24/7, all completely free. Plus massages, workout classes, laundry/ dry cleaning...all free (except the massages which you do have to pay $30 for.) Free wine/liquor/beer on Thursday nights, too. Oh, and a gourmet coffee shop that's better than Starbucks (and free). The other day I actually went to a Starbucks, on the weekend, and accidentally almost walked out without paying, it's been so long since I've paid for coffee!

It is going to be quite the adjustment living off oatmeal and salads and reheated pasta in the Candlewood. But then again, Google never gave me the keys to a jet and told me to go fly it
