Give it a few months but iah will go senior to msp and ord. It may even end up that way before the bid closes. People will take it not because they want to be in iah but it is easier to commute in and out of than ord.

Oh and 757driver if you want to play that game then bring it on.

With the potential for only 20 frames in IAH to start with you don't stand a chance in a Jumpseat war. I would encourage you to pipe down, or you might find it very difficult to get to work. I guarantee you, if the CAL guys want to pull this off they will, and who do you think the other regionals flying for CAL will side with?

Good luck, I certainly hope you are the minority, otherwise, there will be many canceled flights at good o'le skywest.

No commuter policy. If can't make your commute, they will allegedly mark it as an emergency. But it doesn't always go down that way and I say that from experience.

SkyWest pilots are hardly "salivating over flying 70 seaters in violation of your contract". Maybe you should realize that before you come on here and make an @$$ out of yourself. I undertand your frustration, but there is NO NEED TO TAKE IT OUT ON THE PILOTS.

Irrelevant! All of the flights from the west coast to the CAL bases are mainline. If you think your 20 crjs in IAH are going to put a dent on the CAL commuters, you're delusional.

Please don't listen to Slaphappy and don’t feed him…………..

He's delusional and I’m pretty sure his dream is to live in SGU and work in Mgt. He's a minority at SKW; I'd say a 5%r. When I move on I hope he stays at SKW for life since he had his lips surgically attached to Jerry’s…………………Holy Grail.

IAH will not go senior. It will be more Jr than LAX, SFO, SLC, MSP and DEN but eventually more Sr than ORD.

757driver, you won’t have any problem with the SKW pilot group, what you all negotiate we will live.

Slaphappy: please lay off now, you made your point but I'm not going to let you fan the flames. I don't think you're going to IAH, so don't stir it up for those who might.

I can guaranty that you won't be sitting on many CAL jumpseats to get to and from work and if I were you, I'd ask management to rethink this? That is unless you like purposely violating other carriers contracts.

Good Luck !!
Misdirect your anger much?

You're not helping anything, really.

Please stop. No, really, just stop. You give Skywest pilots an awful reputation.
