I guess I am not one of most of Skywest pilots.

ASA can keep him.

While I don't know if I buy the rumor, I've been wondering about this lately, doesn't seem like anybody is happy with Chipaway

He hasn't been all the impressive. No growth since he's been at the helm. But he was handed a mess.

And he's taken away tons of stuff that really made SkyWest's pay scales palatable.

This is an understatement, the stock has performed worse than most other airlines, whether regional or legacy, and employees are very disgruntled. I honestly can't think of one thing that he has done that was good for stockholders, employees, or company. It's pathetic, the employees love the company but hate what is happening.

After talking to my ASA friends I concluded that it was a win-win.

They were happy to have him (relative to what they had before), and we were happy to get rid him of him (most of us).
