it blew my mind when I was at my old regional. Yes I had pride but I understood the “game”.

If you want to get technical… Skywest does directly bid for, and own many EAS routes in which all pilots, flight attendants, ramp agents, ticketing agents, etc are all skywest employees.

You know you guys are made fun of by your peers don't you? If you haven't figured that out yet, you will eventually.

Both carriers have the luxury of being concentrated in one specific geographical area. Our United operation stretches coast to coast, with operations in more hubs than any other express carriers. You obviously have zero clue on what SFO alone does to performance metrics. You obviously have zero clue what DEN does to performance metrics every single afternoon in the summer. You obviously have zero clue about non published ground holds inbound to LAX. We have aircraft that can touch ORD / DEN / SFO in a single day.
Maybe you need to ask yourself a question...why exactly does SkyWest get all of this flying and is the largest and most depended on Express carrier of them all? Could it be because we can handle it? You will also notice that SkyWest and UA's numbers seem to hover around the same area more often than not. Why do you suppose that is?

If one hub is crap for 3 days straight that’s 50% of zw or G7, it’s like 20% of Skywest. Yet on days when only one hub is crap Skywest does worst. Their controllable delays are worst too, that’s maintenance and crew scheduling, not weather, or ATC.

Skywest almost bought United a few years ago but it concluded United was too risky an investment. Skywest is no turd.
