Jerry's not the only one; Mgmnt uses first names in order to achieve a personal sense through out the company. It’s also part of their “open doors” philosophy.

Jerry, Brad, Rich, Roy, Dave, etc. After while you just get used to it and it starts to fit.

I know, it’s ridiculous when you first hear it but if you really think about it, it’s a simple and it works well here. Just adds to the Kool-Aid drinking.

This was an incredibly stupid move that will have repercussions in a negative fashion for SkyWest.

If SkyWest wants to play chicken with Delta, by all means. However Delta will win in the long term.

Just look at Continental and ExpressJet. You dont play chicken with someone 10X your size and that is accoutable for 2/3rds of your total earnings.

Nice power play Jerry!

Since we do not get to see the big picture, we can only take the face value of the story. This is like cutting off your nose to spite your face. Or it could be just doing business.
