Go a little further back in history to 2008 when SkyWest attempted a hostile takeover of ExpressJet. SkyWest ran that airline into the ground and waited two years to pick them up at a bargain price.

Pure genius from a management standpoint.
Pure hell for everyone else who didn't get to line their pockets from the deal.

Do I think they should be running separate operations, no? But it is what it is...it's not our management team, is ExpressJet's management team. They are separate operations.

Seriously people. Look at these trolls with less than 20 posts trying to lower our expectations. Management is scared. All the other big regionals stood firmly with us and now their whipsaw plan has collapsed. So their obvious response is to unleash their trolls on us. Stand strong brothers and sisters, this is our time.

Haha. Some new hire, new to the industry kid has everybody wound tighter than a trebuchet spring. This "air101" kid is a proud Skywest FO who has the "first officer creed" in his hat. I'm darn proud of all of you for taking a stand! And pi55 on Skywest!!

No need to drag religion into this. Business vermin of all faiths are equally skilled at beating labor to its last breath before stopping just before you're actually dead, like all good slavers.

A lot of SKW pilots are on same page as XJT and were quite pleased our TA died because they knew they were next on that chopping block.

Yep. A lot of management trolls trolling here. Not even the normal trolls Slats? Where are you? I miss you. Too many new (obvious management) jokers.

None of these regionals wants to be the first to crack. Gonna be even more fun to watch, but I hope it doesn't take as long as I fear for the shakeout to happen.

Silver has a 50 percent washout rate? What happened?
Silver has space shuttle training, they want you to engineer the plane. Most of the peeps they hired were pilots that had problems even on the GA side and now throw 121 flying and it's a recipe for disaster.

I guess that makes you a Southern Baptist along with the rest of the Westboro clan.

Even though we're all one big family, at the end of the day the SkyWest guys in general seem to only care about themselves it seems like.
Sounds like a little brother complex. Some day the little brother realizes it was him imagining it all along.

Now we have to resort to bashing religion? Not LDS here...but generalizing that is like generalizing everyone at XJT is a tool just like you. And man you wonder why you can't get your 'brothers and sisters' to take a stand and help you out.

Just remember, "every flight counts," coming soon to an ExpressJet employees wrist near you.
