Those aircraft were just to fat and slow to be worth anything for 37 seats when you can have a SAAB with the same performance do it for half.

I think it has more to do with the availability of parts, but I'm not sure.

So, thats why Skyway hasn't called me for an interview yet...Sent my stuff in on Friday! Also, Big Sky from what I heard is selling their certificate too, so that could be one of the 3.

good luck to all you skyway guys

Skyway, Big Sky and who else?

Good Luck Guys. I was hired into a pool at Skyway a while back in anticipation for the Delta contract. Out of the 4 airlines I've interviewed and been offered a job at, Skyway by far was the most pleasant experience.
