So back to the Southwest/SkyWest rumor...

The fact that they are reducing their hiring and growth next year provides a little more of a possibility. Also, our company wants a new pay scale in by January 1st. My guess is to get an accurate cost of flight crews for the future. At most airlines, rumors never happen. However from the people who have been at SkyWest long enough to have heard rumors before, they say most rumors at SkyWest happen.

I still can't see it happening. But as I have said before, ask any legacy guy if he thought rj's would have the presence they have in today's world. RJ900 SLC - PIT? Wow...
