Yeah, exactly. Especially with the stock getting slammed AGAIN! I was hoping for a bounce and now I am getting smoked again. How does it have that nice little run and then get slammed? Pinnacle must have gotten that Southwest flying and Midwest has decided to give the rest of its flying to SkyWay. SkyWest sucks, I am going to Mesa for the quick upgrade! Or maybe Great Lakes, they just opened a STL base.
It has nothing to do with whether SkyWest is good or bad, or any regional being good or bad for that matter. I'm not knocking SkyWest, if it appears that way, I am sorry. Its the idea that Southwest will give any of its flying to a regional, even a codeshare.

If someone is unhappy with this country I do suggest they move because this is the greatest country in the world. There is no better place on earth to live. Who will ever be pleased with every single little detail there is. You have to take the good with the bad, life is not always fair. I am happy with my life, and pertaining to this thread I am happy with my job. I love being a pilot, I love going to work, I make all the money I want, love the people I work for and couldn't ask for anything more.
We get it, you love your job, love coming to work, dont need the money, dont care about a raise, and are completely satisfied. I say AWESOME to you! I am all those things as well but I, unlike yourself, am not "financially set" and would like to see our management give us a bit of a raise. But when we have pilots like yourself who dont care about a raise or helping other pilots out, it makes that idea a bit more difficult
As a side note:
This whole Southwest talk is hilarious. Maybe I am wrong and will be proved wrong.....that's fine.....I just cannot see it hapenning. We cant even staff our own planes, what makes management think we can take on that many aircraft for a new partner?

Johnso,
I was just being a sarcastic and making fun of people who sell out chasing a quick upgrade. I didn't take anything you said in any wrong manner. I agree, no way Southwest farms out flying. Still mad about the stock. Why so volatile?

It's not farming out flying, its codeshare. That means our necks are out, our gas, our airplanes, our loss if (when) the airplane goes out half full. I'd be surprised if any of the flying we do with Southwest is on any of their current routes. What would Southwest have to loose if the flying we did with them was on new routes, or at least routes they have that are not breaking even because of lack of demand for a 73?
As far as when we hear,,,,,,, something has to happen first. I expect to hear something this week or next. Probably next because of the holiday.
It sounds like they were thinking E190, but have not made a decision yet. E190 is not as fuel efficient as the CRJ1000 is suppose to be, but its not out for over a year as far as I know. Over my head, we'll have to wait and see.

Cape air comment was funny! Skyway may be bidding on that as well!
I wish they would take all of that reality crap off of tv. What a bunch of garbage. My wife wastes her time watching that too, I tell her she should go to the gym instead...

My Girlfriend does the same thing. I tell her she should watch something "productive" like CNN or a debate which could have an impact on our lives down the road. All the reality crap makes me mad too. "Keeping up with the Kardashians" (SP) What crap
