I’m kinda taken back about all the comments regarding safety. There are many companies that operate regional jets under 135 and have similar hiring requirements.

They’re not trying to circumvent mainline scope.

Scope has nothing to do with safety. Guarantee if SkyWest had ALPA on property they would be praising SkyWest for taking initiative and trying to solve an issue.

You’re talking about an air carrier doing it. The crux is- why? To circumvent pay. To circumvent Colgen. Pay your pilots and attrition stops. Then you fly the routes like many last years. What changed? Attrition. What can control that? Money. Easier to circumvent I guess.

ALPA knows a thing or two about air carrier safety. Pilots always know more then the company about those sorta things.

Here is a news source:

https://www.aviacionline.com/2022/07...ays-petitions/

ALPA needs to mind their business and keep their nose out of where it doesn't belong. They do not represent either Sky West or Republic pilots and it is crystal clear with this nonsense of ALPA stepping out of it's lane that it doesn't want to do anything to help solve an industry problem, but only make it worse. Typical libs.

Nope, OO flies the 700, under United paint, ATL-DEN which is over 1000nm.

Read the thread in reverse order. By "it" in "That's way more than it can currently fly" I thought you meant the 700. Sounds like you meant the 550. Apologies.

This issue has nothing to do with scope, it has to do with the inability to retain and attract pilots. By using part 135 they assume they will be able to hire over age 65 pilots as Captains and lower time pilots for First Officers, a big assumption but probably little risk as they already have the airplanes and infrastructure in place.
As stated above there’s several jet operators already doing this.
