I would expect in 2015 that Skywest will lower the bar again when the Mesa 900 flying comes up for renewal.Skywest will run out of money eventually since they choose to fly at a loss and could follow Mesa in BK. I don't think any regional is immune to BK if they continue down the Mesa path of business.
i just can't seem to get this out of my mind. first of all, what in the world are you basing this on? that statement that your boss put out? i wouldn't believe him if he told me the sky is blue, and i certainly don't believe anything he says about skywest.

secondly, i can't even imagine that someone that is soon going to be working for kalitta is telling anyone about lowering the bar. you're going to be paid how much for flying a 747???
