Yeah that's what you want to do, fly an airbus without standardization.

"The revised Flight Ops Reposition Program (FORP) proposal is in the Proposed Policy section of the SAPA documents area. This replaces the policy passed by SAPA a few years ago and provides for a more robust program with additional protections to the pilot group. The new proposal is a vastly upgraded and improved version of the original policy.
Specifically it allows for a small cadre of retired captains and flight ops cadets who can hold a type rating, but not an ATP, to reposition aircraft under part 91 rules. The goal of the program is to:
Relieve pressure on revenue reserves, and by extension line holders in order to provide relief to the large number of block hours being flown, particularly those flights that are the less desirable and less efficient part 91 flights.
To provide flight hours and mentorship to selected cadets in order to bring them on line as Part 121 qualified First Officers.
To add another dimension of compliance to the FAA's mandate for pilot career mentorship.
SAPA is to continually monitor the program and to insure that the program provides some metric showing that these goals are having a measurable affect and the program will be under the purview of the PPM, changes to pay/scope etc will have to be approved by SAPA."

So glad this is what SAPA is focusing their energy on instead of meaningful compensation increases and policy changes that benefit the pilot group as a whole. This and allowing "part-time" pilots. What a joke. Not sure which is more sad, this? or the fact that 99% of SkyWest pilots couldn't care less about the fact they are being completely sold out by their "representation"
When are the SkyWest pilots going to wake up, and say enough is enough with this nonsense?
I used to have some pride about the company and people I worked with. Now I'm mostly embarrassed at the level of apathy.

Exactly, from the 9E side, I'd say there's no way that the Compass 175s end up with us. They'll be at your shop, maybe in exchange for the CR7/9 that Delta owns that you guys fly.
Only way that 175s make sense at 9E, is if there is a Delta order for 175SC type airplanes coming to replace the G7 CR7s

The system is broken if line guys are complaining about not being able to drop trips and reserve guys are complaining about not flying enough. And then this Part 91 crap comes up.

Sapa isn’t working on compensation because a TA passed that doesn’t expire for 5 years....

I don't think that's the way this will go down. I think the planes Compass operates for Delta will go to Skywest. And I believe the GoJet 700's will end up at Endeavor. No proof, but I feel that this was the carrot Delta used to get Skywest to terminate the ASA/ExpressJet contract early. Either way, I don't think it will be a good time to be at either GoJet or Compass in the not to distant future
