Reminds me of how SkyWest "stole" the QX flying, using same airplanes, renumbered under AG (Air Group) tails (still owned by Alaska), same gates, same routes, even same departure and arrival times, the only thing that changed was the crew operating the airplane and decal on the side of the plane...so the next time I hear a SkyWest pilot tell anyone that we are taking their flying, they can take a good long look in the mirror...

Skywest pilots are just jelly over our Compass lanyards with the NW type logo

Give an example where a SkyWest pilot goes crazy for Compass flying in and out of LAX. We don't care. Get over yourself.

Most Captains at SkyWest don't even know who Compass is. Nobody cares, destinations come and go but block hours keep increasing. If that's getting flying "stolen", steal some more!

Agree with the "it's mainline's flying to distribute as they see fit" crowd. Show up, do your job, and treat the others you come into contact with with respect, regardless of what name is on one's badge.
That being said, I have received several middle fingers from OO while taxiing in SLC. To those of us on all sides, high school called. They would like their drama back. |

I've had two times in the last year on van rides to the airport where SkyWest Captains specifically say, when are we getting back "our" flying or this used to be an OO route, or I hear we are getting this flying back next month. It gets old...trust me, and I heard it at the last two airlines I was at as well. SkyWest knows full well who Compass is, especially in SLC. Just like they knew who XJ was when they were flying through there. Take a walk through the terminal in SLC in uniform as a CZ pilot and it's easy to watch not one SkyWest pilot look at you and simply act like you don't exist. I honestly don't know what the issue is? As a fellow person in the industry I'm just one to say hey, or how are you, to the fellow pilots in the industry, but SkyWest folk never give me the opportunity because they walk in a straight line and keep their eyes forward. The only time I ever have positive experiences with SkyWest folk are when they come up to the flight deck and need a ride home...other than that it's few and far between.
