The "ready reserve for all" is completely false and yes our ORD operations have been reduced by 50 lines (180ish to 130ish off peak, that’s where it will stay) we picked up 80 lines of flying in IAH (from XJT which will increase) plus flying out of CLE/IAD and almost 90 in MSP with flying in DTW/CVG/MEM plus all the new Alaska and US Airways flying (which will expand). Our DEN operations have been reduced but our operations have been dramatically increased in LAX and SFO. Overall we have added almost 500 pilots over the last 12+ months (still short staffed) and continue to grow and expand.
Again, this guys a troll and nothing more, who's looking for nothing more than to flame the historically exceptional company of SkyWest. As I said before SkyWest Airlines is the only part of SkyWest Inc. that's making money. I respect almost all L-ASA/L-XJT pilots with exception to this guy and I wish to God we had never purchased XJT because they were the ones free falling and we bailed them out. Now bleeding money at a rate greater than what SkyWest Airlines and cover.
Best of luck to all the L-ASA pilots who will have to deal with this guy.
Dont call me a troll. You just snort the KoolAid powder right out of the box.
