Good Policy

Having flown the CRJ 200 for a couple thousand hours I think this policy is wise. Quite a few times our release had an alt/airspeed that was unrealistic. I would admit we were unable to ATC and press on at an altitude the RJ could do.

Wise decision.

Sounds like a very good reason to make more beer cans.

I find it strange you're still upset about not getting hired here... You're at Frontier now, for eff sake find some happiness and get over Skywest. F9 wouldn't hire me, and really I wish nothing but the best for you guys. Seriously.

As far as the restriction goes, I admit it's embarrassing. Hopefully it's a wake up call for those that need it, and we can continue to improve and fly safe.

Actually it's not a OO only thing can't go into detail on a public forum but if you think this is just an OO issue you are very wrong.

I did not know that, thanks for clarifying it.

So, all SkyWest pilots are like that?

This happened at AE a few years back. It lead to a major overhaul of the CRJ training curriculum to emphasize high altitude flight in the CRJ. The CRJ-700 is NOT a forgiving jet up high. It needs to be watched. Keep the speed up, and all is fine. Get slow (less than .74), and you're asking for BIG trouble.

I don't think you can infer much from his intentionally vague post.

I'm guessing they use something like FOQA and have been seeing a number of low speed events at high altitude. Every airline has been making operational limitations because of FOQA data.

At Republic, we can't do a nighttime visual into BTV because a Q400 guy lost situational awareness and got too close to the mountains.

One guy craps his pants and we all have to wear diapers.
