30 years with no fatalities to be replaced by skywest. Just wait till this happens to you. Someday you'll be bought or bankrupt, and you'll regret cheering about today.

At 4 crews per plane then that is 20 crews for the 5 we already know about.

But sea and pdx will have 50 ish crews.

You do realize what is happening with respect to pilots wages and benifits in the industry because you think this is awesome, right? As long as their are people who are "just happy to fly a jet", regardless of pay, we are all f'ed. I guess your parents are cool helping you pay to live.

The wage debate is getting old. Yes ours is less but if you think that’s the cause then you’re delusional. The cost of operating 10-20 CR7’s is FAR greater than operating 412 CRJ’s. Yes wages play a part but they are a drop in the barrel. SKW is now in SEA and PDX and at some point they will be replaced; that’s the industry we live in…………..contract carriers.

I love how regional pilots can be such school girls.
