Skywest is not Virgin Blue. Just like QANTASLINK/COBHAM is not QANTAS.
Those wishing to join the turbo prop arm of
VB, will not be employed by
VB. They will be employed by Skywest.
Therefore, any 737/777/EMB-190 First officers/second officers etc... would have to resign from
VB/VA and be re-employed by Skywest, unless there is an under lying agreement I have not been privy too ??
