Yes there are plenty getting hired NOW. Line pilots are in on the interviews, while not in control of hiring, they have an enormous influence. My guess is, as this gets implemented, you will have less and less SkyWest pilots in the future getting interviews at places like Delta and United or ALPA carriers.

I didn't authorize ANYTHING. New ALPA resolution passed, I had absolutely nothing to do with it, other than communicating it here.

ERJ hiring dropping from 50 to 15. Far less than attrition.

Skywest has done nothing but ride the coat tails of ALPA carriers. Damn right I'd hire PSA and GoJets pilots before them.

Solid logic there brah, hire the ones that allow a B scale at a regional, and need I even mention what gojetsssss pilots have done to this industry? Good thing you're not doing the hiring.

Oh, and here's what you said regarding PSA:

So you mock them in one thread but yet will hire them in another? Typical ALPA pandering right there. And btw, I'm pro-union. If a drive happens while I'm here I would happily vote yes.

Wait. Let me get this straight. People are leaving Sky"best" airlines for other airlines? I was under the impression that Sky"best" is…………..well…………the best! Why on earth would they leave there? I mean, we were told that if XJT implodes us poor ole regional pilots would get a chance at pref interviews out in St. George. There's gotta be a reason we would have to fight our way in to that place. Right?
