They are OTF gloating how the company has not used any of the scope we gave them. Skywest should be doing that flying, we get what we negotiate.

hopefully it happens soon so people can see how much growth we gave away and how it stalled the already long upgrade times while we are still in negotiations.

They desperately need red eyes coming back from Hawaii. My daughter flew United and Alaska on her last two Hawaii trips because we have no good way to get back to anywhere but California.
People who live Mountain time zone and east want to fly the red eye back so they can get their full last day there and then have a day to reset after their trip.

Except for the fact you can make it to the Midwest on us, leaving Hawaii, with a stop in Ca, Las or Phx.

Not if you wanna spend anymore than the morning in da islands on your last day. There's no later option to leave. That's an expensive night of sleep and not much more for most people who fly on us outta Hawaii.

A year? Tough to say with the current state of affairs. We still haven't had a vacancy bid with any movement. Next month is when the ball of yarn starts unwinding with displacements and upgrades.

I’ve been reading up on what life’s like as a newbie.. that being said I haven’t seen much in the terms of crashpads. Considering the flexibility, covid, hiring,etc. do you think it’s worth getting on a waiting list? Or would money be better spent on hotels given how much you’re used on reserve?
FWIW I’ll be commuting from BNA

Depending on the base, hotels will eat up a huge chunk of your paycheck. I think MDW is prob the best base for crashpads and not needing a car. LAS is prob the best for cheap hotels.
crew-tel has contracted rates with hotels at most of our bases or you can always call the crew hotel and see what the swa rate is.
