This doesn’t guarantee anything, but one thing's for sure; you’re still in denial. :D

And those numbers are fantastic considering we are still working out the quirks in the old-desert birds, and that they're being flown by green F.O.'s and Captains!

Good job Lads :D

Well, when one of those green FOs is me, you'd naturally have to expect greatness.

I guess, but I wasn't even on this board when the RFP went out. I'm not sure how comparing syx and skyw is even feasible, considering A) Skyway's financial performance took a nose dive because it was through Skyway that all the new rampers where trained, all the new ramps were purchased, all the new CSR's hired and trained, etc etc. B)Its not as if the two companies are flying head to head on routes...so comparing a company that has a bunch of EAS routes, etc. to another that was given new routes and existing mainline routes doesn't make too much sense...then again thats just the denial speaking!

Ever heard of:

• On Time
• Completion
• Customer Satisfaction Polling

This has nothing to do with head to head competition. BTW, SYX should have better performance seeing that fly into airports with less traffic (Flow) both on the ground and in the air.

Denial and aviation go hand in hand. LOL! :D

I have, I'd love to see the numbers. You were the same person that posted a bunch of previously announced routes that are covered by the 15th plane coming into service in October as an explanation of why you thought Skywest was getting the additional 10 CRJs.

I'm just very skeptical of the confidence that a lot of people have when Midwest has announced all their planned new service through the end of the year. Coupled with new ownership coming in, I'm just trying to get an idea of where you all are coming from other than "they have an option, so its inevitable"

Anyone forsee Skywest reducing their hiring mins in '08?

The 15th a/c is reserve, nothing more.

Breaks released, cleared to push.

Like I said...I'd love to see performance numbers.

On behalf of SKW pilots who don't think we are the best regional airline in the world, I will add that there is crew room built in MCI with SKW stickers on various objects in the room. Not sure what thats worth, anything can change, but it looks somebody with more pull than a bunch of bored line pilots thinks we're getting that flying.

Do all 121 experience pilots get the CRJ?
