Yeah:
Airline Start-Ups: Planned Vietnamese start-up Air Mekong is being established with assistance from SkyWest Inc - Blog - FleetWatch - Aviation & Aerospace Blogs - FlightGlobal

I should have said "guess" to denote the sarcasm.

This story doesn't make sense...

It's says these four are going to start up the operation... but the other story says they just delivered them today. Which leads me to believe these are a different four.

WstCstCmtr, some people don't read when the article was published before they get excited. You are correct, this is irrelevant.

I didn't know that SKW leased those aircraft themselves. I thought they were leased by Air Mekong themselves. Just thought that SKW was responsible for getting the airline up and going with respect to pilots and mechanics. I'm out of the loop these days

I heard another class of 24 starts Nov. 1

Correct.,,,

any idea about who's gonna be in that class? I know they were just interviewing a dozen or so to start a pool.... are they gonna be in that Nov.1 class?

my guess would be pilots.

Thanks for the smartly pants answer. I meant as far as xjt furloughs, comair furloughs, OTS, etc
