Cafe Rio? Good one! I see what you're doing there.

Another company that started in St. George.

I know everything. It's about time you figured it out.

Seriously, you're not helping the SKW reputation when you write stuff like this. It just reinforces the stereotype. I don't know why you have to keep bring this topic up. I haven't mentioned it in a long time. Put it to rest already.

Finally! It's about time. However, not all SKW pilots have gotten this memo you sent out about the new procedure...I was there for 3 hours yesterday and didn't get one bow or handshake.

I got a beef breakfast burrito yesterday from Cafe Rio and got my punchcard filled up to 8 meals. Just a couple more and I am SET. Now, if only I could get a those pilots to bow and handshake more often I would be even happier.

OH, maybe if Facebiter and others want to keep talking about this we can get the thread closed for straying off topic so much. Give it up. I have.

AlaskaBound,

Before you make a lame attempt at asking for this, lets just go ahead and get it out of the way now.

Looks like they serve more locations (67) than airports currently served by Compass (50). Ouch, dude.

YESS! That's what I'm talking about! Thanks NVUS. We're finally on the same page. This map makes me happy.

You're kidding yourself to think these contracts are written in stone. They are very fluid over time as the industry changes, and again skywest hasn't given up any UAL 200s after receiving 40 175s. This was an enormous purchase of planes. The number very closely mirrors the entire INC fleet and that didn't happen by coincidence. Skywest knows their contracts with UAL and DAL will be renewed and the 200s will swapped out for 76 seats. The swap out ratio remains an unknown question only time will tell. My money is on raises at the top end for larger RJ's at regionals, why? Because pilots are financial retards.
