MY OPINION... is that they will transition bro guys whose seats locks are up June, July, August, September, etc. over to the jet and then hire for the bro after the summer. I am pretty sure that there is not a lot of hiring on the bro right now, maybe 10 a month in March and a few more in April? It appears as if a lot of flying out of SLC is on its way from Delta.

We currently have 20 a month leaving, and I think that will increase over the summer when United, Delta, American, etc. hire and recall respectively. So on top of people leaving and new flying, I think 3000 by years end it reasonable. I certainly wouldn't hesitate to get on here. Plus, who knows when it is going to stop?

I spoke with out ex-CEO when we at HQ buying some SkyWest t-shirts (hence the Koolaid Man). Anyways, he said they would like to pay us more but it doesn't fit into to their business plan. We all know they can pay us more, but why pay us more when they don't have to as the pilots voted in the most recent pay proposal? So my question that I wish I would have asked him was, "how much bigger are we going to get?" If they are "concerned" about our pay, and I believe that there was a LITTLE sincerity in his comments, then I assume we are to continue to look for future flying and continued growth.

Take it for what it is worth, nothing!
