Skywest Questions

Haha 3 carriers merged into one? I'm pretty certain there would be at least a few murders over that. You should listen to my buddy from AA bitch a moan about the: 787 and seniority lists, America West etc. That was 2 carriers.

Come to think of it is probably why we don't hang out anymore....

Kind of like Pinnacle, Colgan and Mesaba? And AA was in fact 3 separate lists integrated into one...

Is .72 in cruise typical for you guys? Heard a guy deny a vector or declare min fuel with the vector because he was holding everyone up behind him.

I've had a 200 full throttle and only get 72 out of it. ATC told me 76 or greater, we were holding everyone up. Why would you put a 200 at the front of the line?!! o_O Lol

Depends. I can't speak for the CRJ but the 175 is not a fast bird with that hershey bar for a wing. Fuel burn goes up substantially above .76 or so too.

When we first started SLC service OO pilots would flip us off, accuse us of stealing their flying, etc.

You saw this personally? I really have a hard time seeing skywest pilots on the giving end of the 1 finger salute vs the receiving end. Skywest pilots have it pretty good compared to some of their peers...

I've seen that as well as people being confrontational about stealing your beloved flying. Some of the most immature stuff I've ever seen actually but don't worry you guys are still the greatest regional of all time.

Perhaps the culprits were SLC company cheerleaders...you know, the oh so infamous Mormon 30 - 40 year lifers that give this airline a most notorious rep. The same folks that locked us into this turd pay agreement. This type of SLCer is known to chug gallons of kool aid per year and hangs on every word of RJ. Not healthy for a pilot's health. Most OO pilots find such behavior abhorrent.

I'm not denying it didn't happen, but I've heard that kind of talk from almost literally every single regional.
