On Tuesday, August 21, elected pilot leaders from Atlantic Southeast and ExpressJet of the Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l, and the pilot representatives of SkyWest Airlines met face-to-face for the first time. The pilots spent a portion of the meeting, held in Denver, with senior executives from SkyWest and ExpressJet Airlines, and had open discussions with SkyWest Inc. CEO Jerry Atkin and President Brad Rich. Topics included the status of the industry, SkyWest financials, the possible integration of the three pilot groups, future aircraft orders, and ongoing negotiations at ASA/XJT

The whipsaw is no longer effective. Inc sees the value in combining the two business units into one to cut overhead and in turn decrease unit costs. Word around the GO is that the corporate side of the integration should be complete in the 2015 time frame. Labor? Who knows. Denver was the first step down that long path.

I just received an email this morning for a tentative class date for October 1st. This is the first email I have recieved like this from Skywest. I stated I should receive a final conformation 2 weeks prior to my class date. I heard they are running a smaller class for this date. Does anyone know if they plan on reducing all classes?

Class sizes this time of year are dependent on transitions, attrition (which is low) and projected needs for next year. If there are a lot of EMB FO's transitioning from the EMB to the RJ that will decrease the number of new hire RJ FO's needed for the class but increase the number of new hire EMB FO's needed for backfill. If there aren't that many EMB FO's transitioning then the number of new hires RJ FO's will increase. Also since it's off peak they are mainly replacing attrition and padding the ranks for peak so the number of new hires this time of year is less than what they will need come march-ish......

I'm not calling your pilots toxic but you're not from the family and don't understand. There's a reason SkyWest is the most successful subcontractor in the US but they must evolve and simply put they will be unable to maintain the culture that made them so great.
