I am not sure that your management had anything to do with keeping a lot of the flying. If that is the case then our pinnacle management is as good as skywest management. and we all know that isn't true. Pinnacles 900 flying is growing this fall and the 200 flying is being pulled back a little for a total loss of 1% of our block hours. thats all we are losing this fall. They must have thought it was going to be worse than that because we have this new reduced line loa that we signed. The only thing with that is they offered it to a ton of people, and then changed their minds and only gave out a few. i think what is saving skywest and pinnacle is our contracts. the wholly owneds unfortunatley are the ones that will be taking the beatings in the near future.

Because ASA is being phased out... duh.

How long has it been since your last raise? You're keeping flying because it's all about the $$$. You guys are cheaper than us... by a lot. Not just in pay rate, but especially in longevity!

Several of us told ALPA they were pricing us out of the game. ALPA didn't listen, and excommunicated us. Now the prophesy is coming true. ASA will be gone within 5 years.

Thanks jetjock for making all skywest pilots seem like arrogant jerks. Didn't know we voted you in for class president. By your same logic it would be ok to post your name on here because it is 'public' info that is easily found, right?

ps-you might wanna check out the sapa forums, or maybe not.

He didn't post the letter and I'm sure he's regretting what did come of the meaningless info he did post.

Just let it go.
