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.

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.
