Kirby's New Message
Wow.
Short version: blunt, direct, says we can't shrink to profitability, or be a "docile competitor." Lots of new mainline flying. Said "We're going on the offense!" I'm astounded by the candor. |
He has been saying all these same things for the past few months. Nothing new today.

First time I saw it in writing, with a route map.

Looks great if you're an Air Wis RJ guy.

While I am disappointed with the decision to ADD more 50 seat RJ flying (I don't fit in the back of those things and I think the smallest plane with "United" painted on the side should be a E-175), I am happy about his enthusiasm. Seems like he is motivated to help run this airline properly.
Customer service still needs a lot of improvement, but it seems like we are heading the right direction. |
Fearless prediction:
Standby for the announcement concerning the further reduction of the E145 fleet. (Actually, I doubt they'll "announce" it to avoid a meltdown at ExpressJet but the end result is there.) |

Customer service still needs a lot of improvement, but it seems like we are heading the right direction. It's important to note that we are not growing our fleet of 50-seat aircraft, but as other partners have upgauged some of our 50 seat aircraft to 70- and 76-seat aircraft, our new partnership with ZW will enable us to maintain a consistent level of flying across our domestic network as we also upgauge and grow the mainline. |
So the question is are they replacing oo's 200s or xjt 145s

Isn't SkyWest retiring a large portion of their -200 fleet, 60-some airplanes on the UA side plus others for DAL and AA, on renegotiated early lease returns?
