Washing planes doesn't count against 117.

Skywest is taking a lot of flying right now. Ask ExpressJet, Air Wisconsin and Commutair

Oh for gawd’s sake. This is ridiculous. Anyone who has done this for any length of time time knows Delta constantly shifts flying around. Republics Delta hours have actually gone up. BUT the flying is shifting out of ORD to IAH for the upcoming base. With 60% of IAH flying being for the DL code share and no new planes, it had to come from somewhere!!! A bit of DL LGA flying has shifted to BOS as DL changes BOS to a hub in 2019.

It would NOT be legal per the current PWA...

Are the police going to come and arrest you? Is the FAA going to take away your license? Nothing illegal about it. Now would it violate any union agreement? That’s a different story. My original statement still stands.
