To say that SKYW will be immune from a 50 seat reduction is pretty ridiculous. Do you honestly think all these parked 200's are going to find homes with all carriers shedding 50 seat lift? The fact is Inc as a whole (SKYW and XJT) are going to be much smaller in 5-10 years, we are not immune to the changes in the industry. The quicker you put the kool aid down and take a look at things you'll have a much better idea of where this place is headed. SKYW is NOT afraid to shrink to make more money.
Also SkyWest isn't afraid to place -200s on breakeven EAS routes or marginal routes mainline just doesn’t want to manage anymore in order to save money and have the potential for greater profits and better mainline relationships. Something no other regional is willing to do, while others struggle and go BK SkyWest continues to turn profits. Call them what you will but our management group understand their markets better than any other.

Now how did you get immune out of that? You're reading what you want to see and not what was posted, but then again that's status-quo for these boards.

Awhile back CC posted a map of our at-risk flying, I can’t find if but if someone can, you’d be AMAZED at how much we do!
This is much like what Great Lakes does and does any mainline partner control their routes? no.

Uh... Do you have any idea what you are talking about? It's called pro rate or at risk flying. Matchpoint already responded to you but why do you think the EMB 120 has stayed around for so long? Because it makes Skywest money in the pro rate market, so does the 200. It's my belief the pro rate market will get even bigger
For those XJT guys Tony, Nevets ect... Worry about expressjet becoming profitable and stop sand bagging contract negotiations. Get on board with the program that's proven success and profitability...

Haters gonna hate... They just want to see us fail or get pay severely slashed. Misery loves company right?

Like I posted previously, I would rather make $2 less while improving QOL rules and save my company almost $6M/yr. to help them maintain competitiveness than help run my airline into stagnation due to no new contracts, loss of flying and money which could result in bankruptcy. I just don’t understand why anyone would want the latter. Then again our Mgmt. group unlike any other has proven themselves to be very savvy and mostly trust worthy. They also have proven their dedication to SkyWest continued success and profitability.
In addition I also like profitability bonuses over $2 more per hour so we can share in the good times and not hurt my airline during the bad. But then again I do trust the majority of our Mgmt. group, which doesn't mean I don't hold them accountable and check to make sure they crossed their T's and dotted their I's. And I do call them out when they haven't, but that's an intern issue not meant for these boards mainly due to the haters.
