Let see how many people get that one...

We used to go "fishing" in DAB off ridgewood. You can take a dollar bill and attach it to fishing line and sit 50 feet away and watch them chase it down the street. Way better than going to Mai Tais...

Agreed. Almost every single ERJ pilot I've met has been very friendly, with the exception of one particularly irate captain I had the misfortune of riding to with hotel with in PNS.

I rarely hear any trash talk from either side except on APC. I think once we get passed the JCBA and JSL we'll have a fantastic group of pilots.

Been hearing that Skywest wants to merge or is interested in merging with us now. Anyone have any information on this? Also looks like the hiring has come to a stop and might not have anymore classes in the near future. Maybe this is a result of a possible merger....

I think it's more of an XJET wanting to merge with skywest. They are perfectly happy out there enjoying the benefits of an automatic 2 % over all others. I'm sure the benefits of the unified pilots group trickle down to them anyways. Why in the world would they want all of the added drama that comes with a merger. I'm sure if Jerry could do it over with the whole XJET/ASA merger he would jump right on that opportunity.

From a QOL perspective you'd love to have the opportunity to be based in a much larger variety of places, should that ever come to fruition.

More likely a result of the season. Winter is coming.

The only reason SkyWest management would entertain one list (don't necessarily need to combine operating certificates) is if it is in their long term financial best interests.
