think he is talking “financial terms” OO qualifies for the “major” status.. we all know they are a regional…

They pay their pilots well and incentivize so the pilots won't want a union. No airline has to worry if SW will come through.
if they are so great why is their D:0 lower than ZW and G7?

Why is UA below SkyWest in every single performance?

Why is commutair embarrassingly dead last in almost every single performance category while making aggressive efforts to grow? The best part is they’re working with 1 type and a few domicile’s, absolutely pathetic.

UA and SkyWest can actually handle a massive fleet, different types, multiple domicile’s, and huge pilot list. At the end of day you need to throw a decent performance number on the board.

Because OO has a bigger system that are either severely understaffed, or has lots of flow control than the other UAX, Only flying around the Midwest/northeast might be a different story.

Yep. Majors fly 737 and 320s. They do not fly 50 and 76 seaters. I know it when I see it. Full stop.

but the comment was in direct response to someone saying Skywest is great at attracting people. Are they great at attracting people or severely understaffed? Flow control is given relatively equally to regionals… if anything Skywest gets less due to them having longer routes not subject to the close in flow programs. It has nothing to do with particular regions as Skywest numbers into these same regions is significantly poorer than the others. On days when there is no major disruptions anywhere in the country Skywest is almost always on the bottom of performance board. Skywest creeps up the board when one hub has issues and they can average it out with the other hubs.

Well, sure would put into perspective your lack of knowledge on things......

It would appear you are at Air Wisconsin. You ashamed to admit that or something?
