5/2020 bid

I don’t think the company is being honest with the pilot group. This bid was supposed to happen last spring. It was subsequently canceled on concern over training costs and the Max. It has been the company’s plan all along to return to a single fleet. The fleet decision is only being held up by the Max’s inability to get off the ground. That has been indicated to us by Boeing to be days away. If this does not happen soon this bid could be canceled and then maybe finally a real exploration of a 737 and 321 fleet. I would put that at about 5%. Bid accordingly, bids from this point on will only mirror what you saw this morning. Good luck, everyone will be fine.

Problem with going single fleet is that mainline would then become 168+ seaters only. At least the Airbus gives them 124-150 seats. What would fill the void of 100-130 seat jets?

Wouldn’t Delta drop them like a hot potato if they flew planes that large? I don’t think Skywest wants to lose their partnership with Delta so they can pick up some 100 seat flying for Alaska.

And United, and American. Horizon is the only one that could conceivably fly them. Scope.

You realize there is a 737-700max?

Delta pilots scope only controls what planes are flown as Delta Connection, and not what planes Skywest flies for other airlines. Skywest could fly a 747 as long as its not for Delta, United, etc.
