It would be really great news if American pilots flew their own planes on their own payscale and benefits. Or you can be excited about being payed regional wages and having to be the lowest bidder for flying every few years.

This is great news? How old are you? Do you still plan on being at a Regional when these come online? Anyone that plans to have a lucrative career in this industry and does not want to move to the Middle East would not view this as good news.

I fly for L-Eagle. An airline that currently is shrinking, with no fleet plan thanks to ALPA.

That is understandable, I can empathize with that. However for the masses, even for most Skywest pilots, I would think this is bad news as most would hope to have moved to greener pastures before these even come close to being on the line.

I'm not saying this would be a good thing as I am one that believes all these e175s have all set us back again (the 900s we are getting did as well). But it seems that Skywest is giving bombardier the finger in the future. Does this mean that all the delta owned 700s that Skywest/Asa flies will come to endeavor in the future as their contract expires?

I don't know but the fact is that their scope allows it and it only takes one new CEO to "change" how they operate.
