I actually applied with them a couple of months ago on their website.....their online website app is one of the wierdest and non-user friendly.....to me anyway! I would complete and hit submit and shortly thereafter i would get an email saying that my application was incomplete. I went back a couple more times and filled the stuff in and each time it would send me the same auto email saying that it was incomplete! Not sure what i was doing wrong or missing! I finally gave up! Although i met their minimums, i never really expected to get an interview call since all my jet time is all "light"-jet time on lears.....not quite "heavy" enough! But i digress!

Indeed. The "30 new 700/900s coming" rumor has been going for about 3 months now. Yet it's still just a rumor? Surely something else would have developed by now if it were true. Plus, Scott said it last week in recurrent, virtually guaranteeing it's total B.S.

And I'd say with much certainty that any new airplanes will be going to the SkyWest side since we're "busy" with the merger.

Of course, they could send a few our way to punish them for shooting down the pay proposal too...

SkyWest has no staffing for new flying. We can't even keep our flights covered now. Don't expect any growth here for a while until we hire a lot.

We don't either but that never stopped management in the past from taking the increase block hours with Delta and more RJs with United. We are still trying to catch up. I wouldn't put it past management to do it again.
