Chip has said he has no problem with 200 airplanes and 2000 pilots if need be to stay profitable. It's going to be quite the reduction when those RJs start leaving.hopefully I will have upgraded. The time is running out.

JB22,

Before that should ever happen, I could name five to seven other regionals that would have to implode first to start worrying about SkyWest. Kudos to the hiring department: they are bringing people in at a rate that I believe is unmatched right now.

Are you guys ever going to stop feeding the troll? It gets really annoying watching the responses to his posts

Right before he said that he said he is ok with 6000 pilots.... and the new DVR is out. The UA 700's. Seem to be finding good homes in MSP and PHX...

So there are more 700s going to AA on top of the original 7 that went to LA?

It's gets really annoying looking at your weak responses to most posts. If you think I am a troll,you are mistaken. Most of your comments contribute absolutely NOTHING to any thread and just get in the way of people who want action and want to get out of the regional that will leave you high and dry when the planes go away

That's great. But. I fear the plans UA and DL have for regional reduction will put us well below 2000 pilots in a few years and reduce hiring needs substantially

Very doubtfull.. We have been 3000+ for awhile and still have 50 ac to go. I could see 4000 as the ~. Hitting 4500 this winter then if. Yes if some CRJ's go away being 4K for awhile. Thats without any more ERJ's. But im guessing based off of sims bought that will have closer to 200 ERJ's. That would put us at 5K plus pilots...

If Skywest goes below 2,000 pilots due to fleet reduction because mainline is taking back flying then those 2,000 pilots will have been hired by mainline carriers. This is exactly what we all want. If United and Delta want to shrink the regionals and hire 2,000 of us to do it I fail to see the problem

Exactly! Please take back all the flying, United and Delta.
