Skywest must have a very lucrative CPA with United. Expressjet is much bigger than Skywest, yet Skywest brings in much more revenue. The rates paid to Skywest and Expressjet for Delta flying are the same, as both carriers negotiated the 2nd lowest cost rate with Delta.
The E145 CPA is probably hampering revenue as well, which ironically, Skywest Inc did to themselves
Profitablity of the contracts seem to lean heavily on performance incentives, hence the reason management is going crazy with all these nexlev mind meld meetings after horrific performance this past quarter.

6/4/2012: Word on the street is there will be a TA by summers end. The SLI will somewhat favor the ASA side. It is also being said that do not be to surprised if Delta comes in and buys some of the pilot group if not all. With Delta's lightning speed contract TA, and what looks like the same with Expressjet, makes one wounder why the rush. let's just say there is something in the works. Can't say much for the other regionals, but it appears that this Delta TA will benefit the new Expressjet, more than any other regional, for the better. Things are definitely looking good as time goes forward.

Surprised a discussion hasn't started here about the firing of ASA's Negotiations Chair. Good move IMO

Yea, things did change for the worse. CT came to the union and provided a pretty good contract, prior to pinnacle doing what they did, and stated that this is the best The company can offer with the emphasis of knowing the union would not believe him. It is believed that He also knew what was going to happen with pinnacle thus the offer. Union turned it down but now regrets that decision. It's all we can do to keep what we have.

I think the biggest problem with CM is that he has held the position too long, giving him a tendency to miss the forest for the trees. Too out of touch with the line pilots. I really believe these paid, full time ALPA positions need to have term limits.

I think the ASA crj is losing money, hence the merger. Rates were lowered just before/after the acquisition and continue to be. Being attached to ASA is like arranging deck chairs on the Titanic with Uncle Rico steering us into an iceberg. Love their talk about "economies of scale" and "power pricing because of our size" yet they then say we cost to much blah blah blah FUPM

What I understand is the SKYW CPA is very lucrative, however much of it is being put up for bid this and next year as the CPA's expire. These were entered BEFORE the 2008 SKYW attempt to buy XJT and they set the price at a 0% margin. What I understand is the XJT fleet/crew utilization is at an all time high and where we are most profitable.
