Honestly not flame just some valid points.. oh and keep the Union Stuff out of it Please...

 

I never "envied" skw but when I realized what a mistake mesa had been I did my research very carefully. SKW was the only answer in the west...the lack of union was in fact my biggest concern, but I don't miss it much now. Horizon would have been OK if you lived in one of their domiciles and planned on staying there.

 

Who is this post geared towards? I certainly don't envy SKW in the least.

 

This is going to be interesting. A lot of people are going to get on here and bash SKW pilots for “drinking Kool-Aid,” “riding coattails” and feeling like we're superior even though we know we're not.

In the end this is going to be a huge FLAME thread regardless of its intent.

 

I'm a pylot, pilet, pilut... I fly planes.

 

As SAABaroowski would say, "good post." LOL! Durrrrrrrrrrr!

 

I just want feedback from fellow pilots, in the industry over the past year I have come across people who say stuff like skywest pilots think they are so much better than everyone else.. how the company has fed Kool aid to the pilot group I just wanted FACTS..

Disclaimer to the person who called me an Idiot..well maybe I am in your eyes but you dont know me.. so I take it with a grain of Salt. truth be known I dont even work for Skywest I was just wondering why the Animosity thats all this post is not intended to flame if it gets out of hand I will have it Closed, I think in this day and age we can all talk and agree to dis-agree without attacking people character

 

No one should envy anyone in the industry. We all made our beds and now we have to lay in them. I your bed is full of bugs then change the sheets or find a new bed, but learn to live with your decisions.

 

I've heard the same thing, yet every SKW pilot I've come across in my travels has been very cool. I guess no matter what you'll have bad apples at every outfity and people complaining about other outfits continually. I bet we have some of those same types at RAH but from what I can see everyone here has been really cool, just like SKW.

 

I've met some fun crewmembers and I've encountered some real tools over at Skywest. Envy? I think not.

Once, I was walking through the terminal in Denver. I was approaching another crewmember as I walked to my gate. As I always do, I made eye contact and gave him a nod of respect. This tool turned and looked the other direction. If you have to fly with guys that have an ego as big as the Patriots head coach - then I'd rather just sell shoes. Truly..I do NOT like that kind of arrogance. If that is the norm, there is no way I could ever be ENVIOUS of Skywest. With this said, there are a lot of great crewmembers over there and this isn't meant to flame the good people but only the tools.

Not talk about the union issues? How can you not? Non-union is a huge strike against Skywest in my humble opinion. Two certificates under one umbrella equals only one thing - WHIPSAW. You may not have seen it this past go around but reast assured my friends - you will.
