We thought we were then Mesa won the bid

Looks like it is official, SkyWest will fly 4 CRJ-900s out of PHX for Airways this summer, replacing 4 CRJ-200s coming off lease in July.

Well look at that, it is official. I was wrong!

So no new net flying. Who cares.

The 4 200's will be used elsewhere in the system. So, it is a small increase in flying unless they are getting rid of older 200's.

Probably no net flying, just BHO for a handful of pilots.

The press release says the 200s in phx will replace others coming off lease. That means no growth.

Source for press release?

Hey, come on now. This is like, 20 new flight attendant lines or something. Spread the love.

Company website.

Oh so they found a place for ASA's (ex-Air Mekong) 900's ? ... The 4 of them. Last I heard...Mesa was "eyeing" those for their collection.

Wasted post... This should read : "No real growth at Skywest...just more crap RJ's replacing older crap RJ's."

So how many senior guys/gals are gonna jump on the transfer list to PHX??
Most who didn't really want to be in PHX transferred out, now a new influx begins. :cool:

So far no one.... First on the transfer list is junior.. 4 airplanes, will only amount to the same lines as our Alaska flying..maybe 15 out of the 55 lines in PHX could be all 900..

Welcome to PHX, 900s! It's about dang time!

Snore... Zzzzz...

Does any one have any info on what Mesa routes these aircraft are taking over?

They are taking over current Skywest 200 routes.

One thing is for sure, its growth in outsourced seats. So thats super great for everyone.

I know I'm excited! Since I'll now be flying 'the nine', I'm stoked to start wearing my epaulets backwards. Or should they be upside down? I can't remember.

treat yourself to a high quality meal with the pay increase.. how about that?

No matter what you do, at least you are distinguishing yourself as above the lowly 200 pilots of this world..

900 dudes at SKYW make literally a DOLLAR more than the air whiskey 200 guys.. Talk about SUPERIORITY! Do you feel me? Come on high fives over here

but but but it's so much longer! People will have much more respect for you as you taxi by, right?

Exactly. And don't forget the slats. It's simply more airplane, requiring more of a pilot to fly it.

:p
