Skybus Info
 

Hey all,

Just wondering if someone could shed a little light on Skybus, schedules, future growth (planes, cities etc.) upgrade time, do you get typed in training, how many planes presently and when the next ones are coming, opening new domicles (psm or ?) etc.?

Any and all factual info would be great.

Please don't flame, i understand everyone has an opionion, i would like legit info with someone in the know. Thanks in advance.

Did you try using the Google search located on the upper left side of the page? Lots of info has already been posted here.

thanks, anyone with more info for 08'. read about the losses already, just trying to get up to date info. from someone in house. thanks again

I'm not in house, but the earnings from the Oct-Dec 07 quarter aren't out yet. The earnings from Jul-Sept 07 weren't posted until mid-Dec 07, so the next report may not come out until mid-March.

It's bound to be a whopper however, with average fuel prices significantly higher and some maintainance cancelations around Christmas time.

Are you interrested in flying for Skybus? What's your background? JP

probably gojets first class hire

been hearing a lot about them, some good, some bad due to the pay so i'm curious as to what its like over their and whats on the horizon. Just seeing if there are any pilots here with info.

Check out "CE750"s posts, he's an insider. Use the search feature in the light blue strip across the top. The post he made on 2-16-08 might inform you in the way you're seekng. JP

Got that Shiny Jet Syndrome bad enough to fly an Airbus for Regional turboprop wages, eh?

What's the info. on jumpseating on Skybus flights? I'm a regional line employee based at CMH and looking to ride to OAK. Since there's no phone number for anyone, how can I check loads? Is there anyone at the airport to check-in with? Thanks!

I don't think you can check the loads you have to show up at the gate. They're cass. They fly 150+ seat airplanes chances are you're going to find one on the West coast flights, I have.

We take anyone and everyone on the jumpseat, 135 and 121. Not sure of how to check the loads though, sorry. We have a ticket counter, and a gate agent, I'm sure they'd be more than happy to check loads for you if you walk up. Two jumpseats on the FD, obviously.

Great news. Thanks for that SkiBum.

Skybus, Virgin, and GoJets all have something in common..

What? Aside from those being the three most popular companies for you to flame bait about?

hey skibum112. did you know how many classes they are doing per month?

No, I want to say two is the average so far. About 8-12 guys per class.

Tell me fishfreighter? Does one have SJS if they want the type and go fly in India for 11000 dollars a month?:

i no there is a class in march 13 and one in april 1st. i think i am going to be in the april 1st one. please e mail me when you can. i have couple of questions.
