Thanks

Regional aircraft have almost no excess cargo capacity. They have barely enough cargo capacity to carry passenger baggage.

SKW operates no dedicated cargo aircraft.

Back to real talk... conference call just said OO getting 5 more AS E175's in 2018. When was that announced? Can't keep track of it all.. The best part was in the Q&A when someone asked about potential new flying/growth with our partners. He stumbled around his words and then said. "Stay tuned" ...

P.S.
One of the best bonuses in a while!! My math puts it just over 6% of your quarterly earnings..??. Someone with better math skils check..
(Financial bonus we get every quarter with the earnings call. We aslo get 2 pilot profit sharing bonuses a year on top of those 6 total a year... i know someone is going to ask..)

Don't forget when they said (presumably with a straight face) that we are properly staffed on pilots.

Company definition vs our definition of "proper" are realy different... trust me. Sitting down with them listening to how they determine it is not what a line guy wants to hear...

Guess it doesn't matter until flights are getting canceled for staffing. I haven't witnessed that first hand *yet* here.
