Company email from the DO. Same one that announced the extension of the standing bid.

Well, sure, a delay in dual cabin flying because we don’t have any 175 sims! 😜

SkyWest had no trouble using ExpressJet’s facilities in Atlanta for training. Maybe, SGU needs to have SkyWest return the favor in Denver.

No comment. Greed won over work. Parent company took what was earned by others. Bought ExpressJet/ASA to steal atl gates and much more. LDS is strong within the mothership. Mandatory pjs and All, along with Strangle Hold baby! Ted Nugget.
Gotta them street cred.... in it to win it.
Look out horizon. You are next to be f’ed! But you know that already.

When we had the -200’s taken away by Inc we were told that dual class flying was the future and it didn’t make sense to fly them anymore. Of course those sam -200’s seem to be doing quite well with “SkyWest” painted on the nose.
Now we are turning over all of our dual class aircraft to Inc and there are no dual class contracts in our foreseeable future (according to our DO). So that leaves us flying... 50 seat ERJs.

The fact is SkyWest inc. is getting the shaft. Neither side of the company is safe..
