Sounds like you should apply at Skywest.

Pass. I'd go to GoJet before I went there. Nothing against the pilot group, but that management (SGU) has left me in a position to where I will not support them at all.

Probably because you can't staff anything. Love to hear your rational for your participation on a Skywest thread

We could easily staff what we have now, and maybe a little bit more. Maybe we wouldn't have recruitment issues if we didn't continue to lose airframes to Skywest as well.

And my rational for participating in a skywest thread as an expressjet pilot, are you kidding me? For one, this is an open forums, not a SAPA forum. Two, why are you discussing XJT on a Skywest thread then? Three, we are both owned by Skywest, Inc. Or are us scum over here not good enough for you since we don't have those bad ass E175's and your UWET that you get?

Or is it the other way around and you're losing airframes because you can't staff and therefor you're unreliable.

Yes it's a open forum but just seems odd that you hang around on a thread of a company you dislike.

Expressjet entered the discussion because there was an announcement that effects both companies because as you mentioned were part of Skywest inc together.

As for your last sentence that's your own vitriol.

Or is Delta just slowly shifting aircraft to their WO carrier Endeavor in anticipation of what things will look like in 4-6 years?

And he has good reason to surf this sub-forum. What happens at SkyWest Airlines directly affects his 1/2 of SkyWest Inc. I'm amazed a CA at SkyWest can't draw the connection.

No, it's not the other way around. Maybe that's what your management is spewing, but staffing wise we are fine right now. And as I said before, my issue isn't with the pilot group, it's with inc. Not skywest airlines, but skywest, inc.

Lots of butt hurt today I see!! Buying express jet was probably the worst decision Skywest ever made. Should have let them shut down years ago! Welcome to the airlines!

I think previous expressjet posters on here have ruined anyone's perception that their intent is that noble. As to shifting flying to a WO, doubtful, comair taught delta that isn't practical.

I couldn't agree any more with this. And us ASA guys got stuck with the short end of the stick because of Inc's business decision.
