SkyWest vs Delta law suit
 

Could anyone please shed the light on what exactly is going on in court? Why, who is at fault, probable result?


Thanks

i didn't know skywest was suing delta.

Delta is withholding millions of dollars in payments to Skywest in the form of passenger expenses incurred on irregular operations, I think. Skywest is suing Delta in court to get the payments. Have no idea how the proceedings are going.

I thought i heard a few months back that skywest was suing delta to stop delta from taking back millions they had already paid skywest in what delta thought was in error due to the IROPS.

I am not totally sure though you are probably right I thought that's what I read when it first came out. Also havent heard how things are proceeding either.

If a flight is late due to non-wx irop, it is the carrying airline that pays for passenger amenities. I.E. if a Freedom flight cancels due to lack of crew, freedom pays for the hotels, meals, etc of the passengers. If a Chautauqua flight is late due to mechanical probs and passengers miss their connections, RP pays for the rebooking, etc.

Well then..... Skywest should get their money because hell we all know that SKW walks on water and never causes delays.... :)

Jerry Atkin is pretty high the church but I don't think Jesus has taught him the walking on water trick just yet. Although he has learned to turn water into KoolAid so you never know :D

Careful there bud....there are ALOT of uber-sensative types on here lately! :p

How's life flyin' the rich around the south?

Finally! Somebody who understands us!

Rich lawyers.... .9 each way with a 6 hour sit...... home by 4.....

I like it when they show up and 5 minutes later we are taxiing out..... I have had worse gigs..... RECENTLY....

Well if the SKW boys ( and girls ) cant take a bit of ribbing.... well SOOOORRRYY!!
