And all their CA ending -700s. Don't forget those.

 

Amen brother.

 

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

 

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

 

Ooo lets see. Jumpseater saying Compass is stealing Skywest flying, crew member confronting us while eating saying we are and Skywest friend who says Captains complain all the time. It happens, trust us.

 

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!

 

No hate from the SkyWesters. It was never our flying to begin with, its Delta's. AlaskaBound correct me if I'm wrong, but were you not just hashing this same topic on the Skywest thread, scuffling with what appeared to be a pilot that went ape sh** but was in fact not even a pilot but a dispatcher? Please stop stigmatizing my pilot group as fickle and catty based on an esteemed guess to their sentiments. Nobody here is upset or jealous.

Well "they" wont need to look in the mirror because "they" dont say anyone is stealing their flying. If there are in fact pilots that feel that way, they are rare and feel free to enlighten them as I myself would as their coworker. My comments are representative to the commonly shared sentiments of SkyWest pilots. QX pilot group getting mad at the SkyWest pilot group is very narrow minded. Be mad at Alaska who solicited the deal, or SkyWest executives for accepting it. We don't have a say in which RFPs our company bids for. We are all contracted out labor, and the major airline management teams make these decisions.

 

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.

 

I'm sorry you have had these experiences and feel this way. As a Slc Skywest captain I don't ever intentionally ignore someone because they fly for someone else. We all represent the same thing and I'd like to think we work together and not apart. I would not take it personally that they don't say hi to you and honestly it probably has nothing to do with your uniform because they don't always say hi to me and I'm in the same uniform. I have been in msp and I know I don't get a friendly hi how are you either from other compass pilots but I don't take it personally. I guess I just assume they didn't see me or were too busy to say hi. I'd really like to think we are all in this together and represent one purpose. I'm sad when a select few sour apples seem to represent the majority. Their are 3200 pilots and 700 are based in Slc so if you had 5 guys not say hi, I'd like to think they don't really make up how all the rest of us 695 pilots actually feel. Their are sour apples in every group, even here at Skywest. Anyone that thinks you took our flying, is an idiot since we really have no control over who Delta awards the flying to.
