Inc block hours have been shrinking yoy. United has selected other airlines to fly the 145. They sure aren't at skyw.
Except for the fact that management was offered Skywest pay and work rules in exchange for a complete integration. They turned it down. That alone would've made xjt profitable...but they didn't go for it. Wonder why?

Management actually talks about this with new hires? I always figured it was just line pilot chatter.

Looks like 9 months upgrade was just a one time glitch.
Upgrade stabilized just under 2 years last few awards.
Most junior CA in this one end of August 2015 hire so far

For whom do we fly in SFO? That is a ton of ERJ FOs sent there, some straight out of training. Something must be on the horizon for certain....
