I think we all remember how terribly GoJet did last time a mainline partner tried to give them large amounts of NYC flying. I can’t imagine it will be any different this time

You are focusing on metric that is a variable, D:0 is the wrong one to look at, you need to look at ACF, and there OO is ahead of both G7 and ZW. The only one ahead of OO on ACF is Mesa, but i've been told that they don't use ACARS for automatic recording so their times are based on them manually recording out and in time (As i said, i was told this but not verified...)

A lot of the hate stems from the ASA - XpressJet disaster. Can’t say I blame them. Another part of the hate comes from them not having a union and riding off the coat tails of other regional industry gains. Albeit for not having a union they do treat their employees well. All the TSH carriers had(ve) a union and look at Hulas’ abuse. Then there is all the contract competition and base issue etc that stem from the legacies preferring to use Skywest in the long run. Back to our argument. Skywest owns there own aircraft, runs a reliable and proven operation and also signs very long CPA’s (10+ Years).

News flash, ASA / XJet's fate was sealed long before SkyWest came along. All that happened was they were put on life support for a period of time.

Aside from that, sounds like the bitterness comes from those outside of SkyWest are miffed because they lost the chess match.

What I find funny about all of this bravado is everyone is fighting over being the shiniest turd in the punch bowl.

All regional carriers are the same. One might be slightly better but they all suck. The RJ landscape is changing and changing for the better.

All airlines are a shiny turd, majors included.

Yeah but we get paid a heck of a lot more, better job security and the winds of change are blowing in (at least at UA)

Better job security is a pretty subjective concept. But, whatever helps you sleep at night.
