While the servers did change Skywest is still involved in the IT. As far as I know SkedPlus as well as our crew pay and Rainmaker will be changing too. They’re still in the early stages of the handover.

Yes, as well as benefits administration everything is being shifted away from SkyWest. Melit seems to think it should have been an immediate switch for everything last January, but it takes time to ensure a seamless transition.

PAss travel benefits for friends

Do they have to pay the base fare every flight?(domestic)
I thought we pay once a year $50 and rest of the flights are just taxes

Uh. No. Mesa is a public company and united owns stock. I assume the same is true of sky west. The percentage of ownership varies but I’d wager the combined investment in other carriers out weighs the XJT investment.

To be clear though, the airline that we speak of, was and still is really only a staffing agency. ExpressJet was divested from Skywest Inc. and sold to Mana Air as an operating certificate, 2 145 sims and some aircraft parts. More of a perceived value and less based on assets. If I’m not mistake, United owns all of the aircraft XJT flies.

If Mana Air starts purchasing tangible assets and uses them under the XJT certificate, I for one would be interested in investing.

Parents and your immediate family fly for free (spouse/domestic partner or two travel companions if not married) excluding taxes. Buddy passes can be purchased with a discounted rate for anyone else thru United's EmployeeRes.

If United runs your servers it’s not your own system. Just sayin

So you’re telling me Mana Air owns the sims and not United?
