You read what Skippy wrote in his email:
"We have to keep the conversation open about ways we can become and stay competitive – because it will be up to us to decide if these aircraft become replacement flying or new growth"
Watch for the threats of parking airplanes unless we take a hit in Pay Negotiations this fall. Even though we got the planes on order they are going to use them as bait material for concessions.

This is only an announcement for 40/100. Plus, they have options for 100. Anyone who doesn't think these will be used as management "carrots" to lure ALL SKYW, Inc pilots into accepting concessions is either ignorant, naive, or has zero memory. Wasn't ASA getting the first 900s, anyone? anyone? The email has already come out with management basically saying no growth at ASA or XJT unless concessions. I'm sorry, I mean "cost competitiveness". Plus, the threat of aircraft exiting the CPAs starting this fall. Deja vu all over again I guess.

I do feel that ALPA abuses spending for food and alcohol, but I also feel that it should be a perk for those that do volunteer. But you're right, Ruth Chris Steakhouse is a bit excessive. Additionally, I feel that many of the contract provisions that Skywest enjoys comes from ALPA negotiated contracts. I suspect that Skywest management will go for concessions at Skywest if ASA/XJT gives in to concessions
