Also, please provide data (accidents per mile, accidents per seat-mile, accidents per departure, etc) that show how the regionals' safety record is worse than the majors'.) You do have that data, right?

Ya, SkyWest has a lower safety standard than any of the legacies!
It's totally acceptable to fly stoned and drunk just to make the FFD!
You wouldn't believe the shortcuts we do just because the rules don't apply to us!
In fact just the other day I landed on a taxi way, but thought "no big deal, I'm just a regional pilot".

Do you guys happen to know if Skywest is interviewing people below ATP Mins? I know a couple of airlines have been interviewing people below mins and then telling them to call when they have the hours or just giving them a far out class date. Also, Skywest does not use Airline Apps correct? You apply directly through their website?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Good luck

I have no idea how Skywest (or any other regional) operates, so I won't comment about Skywest's level of safety compared to the legacies. But I came to my legacy from a national carrier, and the training and operating practices aren't even close to the same. 121 is a baseline - that's it.
At least that's how it was between my two 121 experiences. :shrug:

How about mainline doing their flying rather than subcontractors held to a lower experience and safety standard?
Yeah I would rather have that.

It's not outsourcing MORE jobs. These are already ones outsourced and Delta is shifting the flying around. The majority of the guys at SkyWest (except for the top 10%) want to see mainline take back these jobs.

Lots and lots of new routes in the northwest coming for both Delta and Alaska. Just wait.
Delta’s daily non-stop service between Seattle and Vancouver, B.C., begin June 5 (on Delta’s affiliate SkyWest Airlines).
Delta will fly four daily round-trip flights from Seattle to San Diego starting June 2 and the same number to Portland beginning Sept. 2. Both routes will be operated by Delta Connection partner SkyWest on Bombardier CRJ-900 regional jets.
Delta's new service from Seattle to San Jose will be operated by Delta Connection carrier SkyWest Airlines using 76-seat, two-class CRJ-900s.
Beginning December 20, 2014: Delta's new service from Seattle to Phoenix, Palm Springs and Tucson will be operated by Delta Connection carrier SkyWest Airlines using two-class, 76-seat aircraft, while Jackson Hole service will be operated with two-class, 65-seat aircraft.
Beginning June 9, Alaska will offer twice daily flights between Salt Lake City and Portland. The morning flights between the two cities will be operated by SkyWest Airlines
On June 9, Alaska will also add a third nonstop flight to its existing service between Salt Lake City and Seattle, which will be operated using a CRJ-700 aircraft.
And no offense to Horizon but SkyWest has before and will again fly between SEA and PDX.
