Don't stress guys you probably wouldn't miss a paycheck. Honestly it would benefit a lot of guys in this hiring environment. Major carriers would snatch up any clean ALPA pilot on the street very quickly.

Really? I know several Comair pilots that ended up as part 135 dispatchers and pilots. SkyWest pilots get hired at SWA, UA, DL, AA and any other major/legacy as much as any other carrier. Any OO has never furloughed.

Yes I saw it and it was very clear that he said they were consolidating to those three. Others on here came away with same understanding....

Not trying to fan the flames, but don’t rule out SKW in picking up flying from, or consolidating/acquiring with some of the aforementioned regionals.

While this is true, I don't know if I would bank on that in the future. There's no way OO could justify hanging onto almost 5,000 pilots if the last 15 years happened all over again.

Yeah, I'd think they learned their lesson with ExpressJet.

Calm down, it was a joke that some skyw pilots seemingly get giddy when their company takes planes from other carriers.

Only airplanes SkyWest has "taken" from other companies has been 700s from XJT/ASA (SkyWest owns those planes by the way). All the 175 flying is done with brand new planes from the factory.

601XJ 602XJ plus a few other 200’s from Mesaba. Skywest isn’t as perfect as you’d like to portray. And they’re party to the regional whipsaw game

Furthest thing from perfect. They should learn how to hire and use reserves instead of extended people up the wazoo and then wondering why people call fatigued.

More flying is cool if we could actually staff it. I guess Joseph Smith told management that they don't need staffing because American Jesus told him so.

I was with 2 major ALPA airlines and received the ¨preferential jobs at major ALPA carriers¨ twice. The only airline that did that was United and it was not a job but only an interview. Delta, Alaska, American, etc give no preference in any way. I do not know a single person who even got a Delta interview after one of the shutdowns.

The preferential interview is not much of an interview. They only hired 14% of those interviewed the first airline, and less with the second. Those they hired all seemed to be in the minority categories they needed at the time, Blacks, Hispanics, Asian, and pilots with lots of grey hair (to counter their prior age discrimination lawsuit they lost). I don´t think there is any preferential jobs that you can count on. The odds were much better off the street.

Maybe you didn’t get it because you’re a racist. Just a thought. You were probably *****ing about it to one of their recruiters on accident.
