As for your attitude and most the attitudes of the new SkyWest FO's - the entitlement has to go. You tend to think the west coast belonged to you and some how, it's your loss that ExpressJet is now in your back yard and growing. Just yesterday while jumpseating on Southwest, the SW FO was talking about a SKYW jumpseater recently was sitting in the JS telling the SWA guys about how SKYW is going to be flying for them very soon and quite possibly the route that we were flying. Needless to say the CA and FO both replied that spikey-haired FO would never be welcome back in their JS.
What kind of tool bags do you guys hire over there?
There are tool bags every where. How you can say I have a sense of entitlement off that one statement I am not sure. How many times in this thread have I said I am glad you guys have that flying and hope you don't lose it. I tried to say something of that effect in almost every post to avoid looking like I thought that flying should be SkyWest flying. I have said it before and I will say it one more time, I am glad that you have that flying. It has been a great benefit to alot of good people who want to live on the West Coast at Express Jet. Never did I say I thought that flying should be ours. I have tried to compliment your pilot group and say I hope all goes well for you guys and I get this in return? I'm sorry but I am not so sure I am the one looking like I am entitled to something in this thread.
I could go on about tools from every airline I have had in the jumpseat but I know that is the minority. The only way to get respect is to give it and as for me I will continue to be the guy who waves to you guys as I pass on the ramp in SLC. Good luck, I don't know what else I could have said in this thread to try and show support and respect for your pilot group.
