Just saw a SKW ad promising a 3 year upgrade. Considering that there weren't any CRJ upgrades in September and won't be any in October, and that we have no plans for any additional CRJ flying... if I were a prospective hire, I'd take that promise with a giant salt shaker...
But none of that really matters since they have conditioned us to not expect any relief in the form of reserves or schedule enhancement. If you can't drop trips or get vacation with 50 reserves in DEN, it doesn't matter how many we hire or upgrade. Min reserve numbers increase because reliability is in the toilet. I wonder if the two are connected in any way??

I doubt they're wrong. Just because you're using it doesn't mean it's an available benefit to Skywest employees but keep using it at your own risk. Be careful what you wish though. If several hundred employees start using it UAL may decide to strip what crappy benefits OO has even more.

It must just be Skywest then because we've been using it for at least 10 years. It came from CAL when it used to be called COAIRfares.

Like you've been here for years. 
SkyWest has done a lot to keep our pilot's priority on our aircraft. Ask a TSA or GoJet pilot what their priority is on their own aircraft with a UA pilot listed.
I'm not saying it doesn't suck. I'm saying you haven't been here long enough to call any department at SkyWest pathetic.
