I was hoping it would be Skywest. It may yet still be
Thats a shame, I was looking forward to more 900 flying. But I'm sure we'll get at least 50% of the delta rfp
Dude, you're a tool. Guys are being kicked out of places they have called home for years and you're gloating??
I can't wait till the day when the mighty skypest gets bent over. If you don't think it will happen, just wait. Ask Mesa what happens when the growth stops and you're a sell out and stuck with a crappy contract, ask TSA what happens when you're all cocky for getting some additional flying (United) and have it taken away by BloJets, as it has to others besides them, it will happen to you. And if you don't think what you do effects others, watch how that crappy contract Mesaba ended up taking screws everyone else, including NWA (can you say whipsaw).
Seriously though, I hope you continue to feel all smug with what some skypest person referred to as a "contract." You don't have a contract, you have an agreement, or "manual", or whatever the hell you guys call it. Just wait till things aren't going skypests way and they start putting the squeeze on you guys, you're "contract" won't be worth wiping your butt with. You're already flying 90 seat airplanes for less than other companies fly 50 seat airplanes for, what are you going to do then to get your growth in the future, fly a 747 for a .23 cent increase? And never mind your little bonus for ontime, you're still sellouts.
Tool.
