Skywest is in a great position. Why again should someone come to AE?

I doubt you will lose your chiefs. US Airways has 2 regional airlines. Both have their own Presidents and Vice Pres. Parker doesn't have the time or energy to manage the wholly owned regionals. My prediction is that there will be a merger of Airways and American. Then there will be three regionals under the umbrella.
But.....
From what i hear the Mainline Airways pilots have a combined seniority list that includes PSA/Piedmont pilots. I assume to bring the number of mainline pilots at airways look higher. There has always been rumors of a flow thru from the wholly ownes to mainline but nothing ever became of it.
Parker can run a better airline that Horton. And don't flatter yourself too much. American does have some nice airplanes but you are plagued with some stale old crusty f/a's and gate agents like airways. Personally after reading the non-rev travel for express carriers, Airways system is much better.

In one of those roadshows today, they announce that in FACT, they will meter the 824's to AA because AE cant hire enough. This will take at least 3yrs min for all of them to go. Lots can happen in 3yrs....

I was at a roadshow today, and they said they don't know if they will meter yet, it was specifically asked. But since we're supposed to be down to 120 emb's by 2016, it may work itself out. But everything is a variable at this point. Hell, I may win the powerball this weekend too?

depends if the pilots b scale new hires and snap their pay to pinnacle in a few years in exchange for 60 big rjs. Then yes it will meter. If they say no and they keep the blending going on the place, then maybe not.
