And if I recall, back towards the beginning of 2013 DL actually threatened to pull all their flying from GoJet due to poor performance and not meeting goals as set forth by the contract. They stepped it up for a little while, but it appears their reliability has once again slipped.


Yeah, that's totally an easy route map to pull off everyday. Whew!!!!

Actually, it is.

The majority of flying is from SLC and MSP...

Not exactly airports known for significant delay issues.

9E/G7/EV all do a bunch of LGA. That alone is enough to tip the scales.

Right, no TS ever roll through MSP. It never snows there or anywhere else in the midwest. TS never roll through DTW. It also never ever snows there either. Never snows in the Rocky Mountains either. In fact, SkyWest only flies to cities where there is absolutely 100% sunny skies all day, every day. Like Seattle.

You are very ignorant to east coast flying! You're making yourself sound stupid! It's more than just weather that causes the delays! Did you ever think to consider what happens when you have multiple major airports right next to each other? i.e. LGA JFK EWR.... It becomes extremely congested and ground stops are the norm... Now you can add in the weather and imagine what happens!

Stop being ridiculous.

Sure there are delays....They are airports.

To compare them to a place like LGA, or EWR, or ATL, or ORD is foolish.

I wonder where the "skywest attitude" originated from? The arrogance is blinding.

Once a tool, always a tool. Thanks for the route map. Do you get those maps in your new hire and recurrent training classes? Do you have to memorize them while sipping on the kool-aid poured by management as they watch you study so you can spout it off to anyone who dares criticize the mighty SKW? You're not helping the tool-bag reputation of SKW pilots.

And SkyWest doesn't fly for DL, UA and AA out of ORD? SkyWest doesnt fly for UA and DL out of ATL? So when the GS and GDPs come out for those two airports, they pertain to every airline BUT SkyWest? Thanks for opening my eyes.

I assume you've never experienced or compared the operational differences between thunderstorms that go through MSP/DTW vs. NYC. You can't compare the operational complexities. MSP recovers very quickly while it takes days sometimes for NYC to recover from a major storm or storms.
