the only way skywest will be able to hire 1000+ pilots is to raise the pay rates which would cause even more pilots from mesa to jump ship, ultimately shuting down mesa and giving J.O the big one finger salute!

This will be a codeshare, not a compass/mesaba type deal.

Not a chance of flowthrough. If you have the quals and work for this "fictional" airline, you won't have a leg up on any other applicants. The SWA hiring system has no sure pattern or reason for doing what it does. I wouldn't expect this to change that.

Now that I think about it, I figure the stock buyback was a way to celebrate keeping the union out. They'll probably sell it some time soon to pay for the gambling, drinking and ... like the Vikings had on their party boat a few years back! I just hope the girls are over 18! SkyWest Management Gone Wild! I bet those guys are still congratulating each other!

$10 coupons. A nice gesture considering 11,000 employees at $10 per employee. We also got a cooler with the SkyWest emblem on it for our 35th Anniversary. Then they gave us bag tags that light up!
