Also was this on a route that was previously flown as a manline flight? Perhaps the "thanks for flying the route I previously flew" would not have been received well by you and your need for acknowledgement.
Well it is considered common courtesy, especially when the roles are reversed. If in fact said commuter was really concerned about the fact that SkyWest was operating a route they previously flew, they certainly didn't show it when they voted away scope language. I never flew for SkyWest, nor any other jet regional, but they certainly do not shoulder the blame for the monster that is now the "regional" industry. That egg lays directly on the face of the selfish morons that sold the career down the toilet for an hourly rate. Sorry.. I know it hurts but that's the truth fellas.
