And that's the problem at
VB, unless it affects the 737 flying no one seems to care. Yep it may only be turboprop flying now but whats next? Some of the routes the turboprops will operate on are currently operated by the Ejet. This means less flying for the Ejet which equals less commands. Skywest operate the F100 and the A320 and both types could take more flying away from
VB. An extreme example would be for them to do all the flying in WA, which would mean the loss of the PH base.
When QF and Impulse came together it started out as a wet lease, with the 717 and 1900's operating on routes for QF, and look at what has happened 9-10 years down the track.
We has a group need to stand together and protect all flying, not just 737 flying. And I don't support the current plan for integration as it doesn't help anyone who joined in the last 4-4 years.
