United buys 30 175s with options for 40

This is just a rumor, but I heard from some friends at skywest that they are getting a program for a new type going.

That's funny, if only because your pay rates are somewhere near acceptable.

AAG is happy keeping "little ole Horizon" exactly that "little ole Horizon". If we grow to beyond 50 airplanes I'll be amazed.

New airplanes for flying in the State of Alaska? Nope...it'll probably be something along the lines of "Skywest to fly YEG/YYC/BIL/ETC on behalf of Alaska Airlines", and our planes will be shifted to ANC. Hooray!

Well ExpressJet is out...

Better than us...ZW was never in. Bhahahahaha

 

[Jet]

I wish United would just staff it themselves...

Yep, if only they didn't give up scope years ago and the best part about it is when you get a UA mainline guy giving you a dirty look in the crew room as if we're the reason they lost flying. I think we'd all rather keep more jobs at mainline.

Another confirmation that getting out of the rat race was the right choice. Good luck to all the 121 guys.

Thanks but I think the corporate rat race is worse! You have to keep your nose brown for years to get a promotion. At least I know when my number comes up, it's a sure thing I'm getting promoted assuming I can pass a checkride. 121 branded flying is better than all this regional drama though.

I guess it depends on the corporate you go to. We are co-captains so it doesn't really matter about an upgrade.

Think he is talking about flying desks.

Haha yeah I wondered. That would suck.

Do you get paid the same?

 

[Cessnaflyer]

Based on time so the other pilot has a higher pay than me.

Skywest mainline will finally be mainline right?

 

[nc1982]

Somewhere Trip7 is creaming his pants. Can I say that on here?

Er...

(if by mainline, you mean "airplane says who operates it on the tail," of course.)

 

[GaTechKid]

While upgrading on the Bro out in Cali has been fun, hopefully this means I can get back to IAH in the next year.

That is actually a good tale. Efis, aft lav and the good seats.

They're not all sweethearts, but a few of them are, and all of them will get you home alive.

Mad respect for the EMB 120.
