It does now. That was what spurred the major changes in the business plan. Actually, heard through the grapevine that we are good up to $120 a barrel now.

Don't assume the people leaving are criminals - bad businessmen yes, but criminals no.

c'mon man...calling them crooks? that's riduculous. it's also so tempermental
and not feel sorry. what did they do to you? you don't have to feel sorry. they did know the risk. granted this isn't a good sign and usually means they struck an iceberg, but they could survive... that's why they play the game..

Shift key or a space bar, you guys need to fix those things.
Seriously though, a $120 a barrel is crazy. If Skybus has a plan to cover the higher oil cost, good for Skybus. As B.A. said " I pity da fool who didn't plan for oil to be over a $100" Well he said something like that.

The way Skybus will deal with the price of oil going to $120 a barrel? That should be obvious to all! They will just lower the pilot pay and make them work more! After all pilots are over paid at any pay rate and they don't really work they just sit there in that little airplane, right?

Ya, but its not like these Skybus folks were not given plenty of warning. They knew what they were getting into, and now they are going to suffer the consequences of making a poor choice.
I do not feel sorry for the Skybus pilots who will be out of jobs soon. They made a poor choice against everyone's advice, and they got burned. Sounds like a good life lesson to me. Hopefully they all have backup plans.

Just another pilot hate pilot thread.
Since I am defending this airline I guess the monitors will probably pull this post as they usually do.

Naw, that's not how it works. Posts get "pulled" and users get infractions when TOS is violated. Has nothing to do with Skybus. If you feel a post violates TOS, you should report it.
