From: CRJ200 Capt.
What is worse is that Chip doesn’t have a plan.
I encourage everyone to listen to the last earnings call recording. Chip is basically insinuating that hiring at the majors may slow a bit and that the new pay package is working as intended. Maybe he feels bullish after the Jan Gone Report showed a net gain of 35 pilots vs a net loss of of ~1000 pilots in 2022.
And yes, the CA/FO remains unchanged. The entire operation is just shrinking.
30 percent of the ERJ fleet is sitting idle and more than 40 percent of the CRJ fleet is not productive. These are some very sobering numbers.

Until the majors start requiring pic time again the regionals will have this issue.

What’s worse is Chip basically said their only solution is to beg United/Delta to stop hiring their Captain’s or they won’t be able to meet their contract obligations. The result, OO Captains sniff that out when they see less qualified candidates being picked off at destination airlines, especially United atm, and they just apply everywhere and focus more on leaving SkyWest at any cost.

Chip said “Also during the quarter, we were pleased to have finalized amendments to the flying contracts with a majority of our partners to reflect our increased pilot scales.” So is AA the holdout?

I do believe they mentioned that all carriers except one agreed to help subsidize the pay increases.Given what transpired between Mesa and American, it seems likely that AA is the holdout. Seems like American is positioning themselves to be completely self-sufficient in terms of regional lift.

Airlines have tried the airline within an airline model before and it always failed. Remember Ted and Shuttle by United, US Airways Metrojet, Cal Light, Delta Song……..?
