So the "Delta wants 3 regionals carriers" rumor is around again? This was the saying going around a few years ago. Delta also wanted to not be in the wholly owned business anymore which is why they sold off Compass and Mesaba but couldn't get rid of Comair. But then they turned around and bought Pinnacle (now Endeavor) back to save their lift from going bankrupt. Around the same time, they bring in GoJet for some regional lift as well. So I would take these rumors with a grain of salt.

So after seeing the November schedules, does anybody else need further convincing that we need actual work rule polices to limit how bad PBS flargrantly vilotes seniority across all levels?

It was bad before, but isn't becoming untenable. Seriously, how much longer before we say enough is enough?

Dear potential new hires, Do Not Come to SkyWest!!! You will inevitably regret it. This place has been rapidly declining as a "good" regional to work at. It's a real shame.

I think you should appreciate having a good job at SkyWest!!!!!!! Go to CommutAir or Envoy where you will learn a new definition of bending over and taking it up you know where without any lube!! but I THINK you WOULD like bending over Mr. SMACFUM!!!!

Ahhh he must have benefited from PBS giving him trips he shouldn’t have been able to hold. That’s him personally bending you over. Maybe he likes it more.....

My November turned out great.
It’s been years since I’ve been CN’d.

Globalizing does need to be fixed in the end though.

Learn how to bid. Everyone complaining needs to take a closer look at their last bid.

Yet ExpressJet just got cut.

correlation does not always equal causation.

Ok, Fine. I'll indulge the Troll. Yup, It's perfectly sound logic to argue that because it might be worse at other places, therefore it must be good here simply by comparison (relative privation). The good old "love it or leave it" argument. Of course there is no other alternative, like I don't know........making an effort to improve things. Sound logic man.

Yeah. You're right. Having 90+ hours, min days off, constant reflows, 0 reserve coverage every day, month after month must all the pilots' inability to bid. It has absolutely nothing to do with PBS globalization rules or a complete lack of contractual reserve coverage and staffing levels. It probably also has nothing to do with the company taking on way more flying than it can handle, forcing the pilots to pick up the slack. Nope, you're right, it must just be that none of the pilots can bid properly. Just because you got a good result and are happy with your bid must mean everyone else must be wrong. Genius.

Reflows?
Is something new happening?
