Because Skywest is the only operator of the 900 for delta and its costs are more inline

It has and will continue to be very difficult for any single pilot group to hold up a bar given the type of business model that the airlines are using for feed. Unless there is quantifiable scope language and across the industry unity the bar will continue to lower.

Oh and rest assurred someone else will operate 900's along with Skywest. That way they can make sure that they can have a pricing competition to keep wages down.

As a Skywest pilot myself, the 900's going to Comair would be the best outcome. They are the only one's with the bawls to get what they deserve. They are setting the bar higher for everyone and trying to raise the standard, something everyone should be doing at their own companies. At least it won't be Pinnacle or Freedom... hopefully

After we take it, it puts downward pressure on SkyWest, ASA, and everyone else. SkyWest may not feel the pressure immediately as they have a lot of growth slated for the next couple of years, but it will most undoubtly come if things don't change. ASA is already feeling the pressure.
It is a crazy world. I am jsut enjoying the ride.

Congratulations, oh and way to support your fellow union pilots....oh wait, your not union. Maybe thats why your pay rates suck. Your an a**. Just remember, what goes around comes around. I wish our Comair Brothers and Sisters the best. You've been through a lot. I hope it gets better very soon.
