Am I the only one who thinks that place is just average? Besides the bathrooms it's not that special. I'm glad it's clean, but other than that I don't see the hype.

SkyWest, Trans States continue waiting out MRJ delays | Airframes content from ATWOnline

The two largest customers for the Mitsubishi Aircraft Corp. MRJ are sticking with the Japanese company despite repeated program delays and concerns over scope clause restrictions, but the two US regional airline operators could be forced to begin making decisions on altering their orders as soon as next year.

Utah-based SkyWest Inc., parent of regionals SkyWest Airlines and ExpressJet Airlines, and St. Louis-based Trans States Holdings, parent of regionals Compass Airlines, GoJet Airlines and Trans States Airlines, together hold 150 of the 223 firm orders for the MRJ.

All of the orders (100 for SkyWest and 50 for Trans States) are for the MRJ90, which is currently in flight testing. But the MRJ90 is too heavy to be operated under contract for a major US airline because of pilot labor contract scope clauses.

SkyWest CEO Chip Childs, speaking to reporters at the Regional Airline Association (RAA) convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, indicated that SkyWest is much more interested in the MRJ90, which would likely be configured with 76 seats in the US market, than the smaller MRJ70.

“In my view it’s a pretty big if” whether scope clauses will be changed to allow the MRJ90 to be operated by US regional airlines, he said, adding, “Our job is to make sure [the weight issue] is on the table” when major airlines negotiate new contracts with pilots’ unions.

When asked by ATW whether SkyWest could cancel its MRJ90 order rather than convert it to MRJ70s, Childs responded, “Yeah, but we don’t have scope relief today and we haven’t canceled … We’re always going to stay optimistic about it. We have no intention of canceling.”

Childs said there is no firm timeline on when SkyWest will receive its first MRJ.

That's for darn sure. No pairing diversity, either. It's all 4-days.

84% 4 days on the 717 in Atlanta for June. It's not all kittens and rainbows at mainline, however I have no regrets whatsoever leaving SKW.

Wanna fly? C'mon over to the CRJ where we have zero, yes zero, reserve lines.

It's like Oprah. Everyone gets a line!

Haha I posted something like that in the old Skywest thread before both of us worked there. Lemme see if I can find it
