I think Skywest will get the ax from Delta and only operate for United. Delta doesn't like competitors. Skywest Inc. (AKA ASA) will still fly for Delta.
I hope you were drinking and or drunk when u wrote that...

Salt Lake City is SkyWest territory, and I think it will stay that way. I wouldn't get too comfortable or excited, because it won't last long, just ask ASA, ExpressJet or Shuttle America. Why are you so excited bout Vegas anyway? Do you live out there?

Try again.... how bout ASA needs to keep hours in ATL and will with the planes starting in MAR. Skywest will then return to SLC sending Mesaba to JFK..... All subject to change based on the juicy fart status of Delta management.....

But seriously y'all better stay out of MSP or we might have to brawl..lol.

Seriously guys? How many regionals fly under the Delta name now?

This constant shift of flying will keep happening, until you all get on one list or some sort of minimum cost structure is set, so Delta doesn't keep moving stuff around.

You can all talk about how there is a minimum % of flying you have to fly for Delta, but now Delta is Delta & Northwest, so something has to give. Contracts will get reworked or payments will be made to break old ones.

Good luck to all of you, but you should be spending your time trying to work together, to prevent this constant whipsawing, instead of bashing one another.

I wish... unfortunately we have guys at arms about 20 year captains making arse's of themselves on the radio rather than stopping the whips...

We do have the best pilots, cuz our HR ppl are very picky.

And our nine drivers and the best of the best!
