gee whiz, ever thought that if we said no and got shut down, your pilot group including you would bend over and pull their pants down because Delta just shut down the last 2 that didn't play their way? Oh but then you could have our planes and you could make sure your kids are good and fat...

If you can't see that you and Pinnacle are screwed either way the vote went, you need your head examined.

Just curious. Your CEO gave himself a 60% pay raise right before filing for bankruptcy right? That's the same CEO now? Is he going to be forced out by Delta (with a golden parachute of course) and has he already given his pay raise back? I'm just wondering because awful management was 100% of the reason they're asking you for pay cuts. Pilots are always sharing in failure but never reaping the rewards of profitability.

So it's written in the skywest CPA they the must have the 2nd lowest costs of all DCI carries? I would imagine with this new pinnacle concessionary contract and Gojets, it'll be tough unless economy of scale saves them that much money.

It's in Skywest's latest 10-K.

First off I don't plan on being here more than another year or two, so I couldn't care less how many of "your" (Delta's) airplanes we get. Second, 800 OF YOU ARE LOSING YOUR JOBS! HELLO!!! Would YOU want "your" airplanes places at the DCI carrier with the best contract, when you go begging for a new job? This is exactly why you guys are in this Epic Fail. Missing the forest for the trees.

Not SkyWest. ASA (SureJet, Expressjet, etc). We are required by our CPA to be the second lowest cost DCI carrier, or Delta may terminate our CPA. That is a fact.

I see....when it benefits you, they are your airplanes and routes, not Deltas......but when I say our, you pull the semantics card.....

And what makes you think you will only be there another year or so? haven't you been there like 12 already??????

So how are some people so confident that delta won't come knocking on ASA/expressjet's door and start asking for concessions/or else?
