No sir I was not. Do you get all of your news from one place? I do not.

 

So you spoke before checking. I check before I speak.

 

I said I wasn't speaking for you. I was trying to interpret what you said. There weren't any specifics, so I had to guess. Not trying to pick a fight, but your post was vague.

To support Bozo, confirmed from multiple sources that hiring is going full steam ahead, and looking at increase their hiring efforts in 2017.

 

Define full steam?? Is that 6 a class or 70? How big are ASA classes?

 

No clue. This prelim for the current position notice also shows 4 upgrades on it as well.

 

Only because they know it's about to be a mass exodus. They are just trying to stay ahead of it,that's all.Loosing aircraft with no replacement means less pilots needed.......period.

 

It's really sad to see what has become of AWAC and XJT. They used to be the best regionals to work for.In a few years neither one will probably exist, or if they do it will only be at a much smaller scale. It's sad to see.

 

It's all smoke and mirrors. They upgrade and hire, but the numbers are single digits or low double digits when they do either. If they stop hiring or upgrading, then those on property might see that they are closing the doors.

If they truly wanted to hire, then they would give a bonus like almost every other airline. They would have 26 or more in a class like we used to have.

Again, its all smoke and mirrors. Just keep rearranging the deck chairs guys. It's all good.

 

I couldn't agree more, unless there is something else in the works that we don't know about yet. One thing that I did notice about this announcement, is that it came out of a SEC filing that Skywest did. It took our company a little bit to announce it afterwards. I'm not saying there is, or giving the company credit, but just stating that there may be something more that's not finalized yet.

I did hear that from G.W., he said they are still strongly considering the FO pay raises and other retention ideas. I've expressed to management over and over again, that the longer they wait, the deeper hole they will need to dig out of. It may come to a point to where the hole starts to fill with water and we can never recover. I personally have given the company up until the end of Feb to make an announcement before I explore making a lateral move, or going somewhere else.
