Okay,
Keeping my ears down to the ground about the 'new' carrier Skywest was'nt it.
The Skywest order for 4 x A320 came as a bit of surprise but i will believe it when i see it. These up to 4 A320 replace 3 x Fokker 100 and allow more flexible route schedule makes sence.
The 'new' carrier is still going i do believe. Skywest isn't the new domestic carrier.
Anyway i gtg run run run. 1 plus 1 equals = 2!!! Back to the beancounters

With the last reported load factor across the fleet around 60%, there will have to be some serious pulling of rabbits out of hats to not make this the thing that sinks Skywest, although they do have that state gov protection

I heard the A320s are an addition to the fleet - not a replacement. I also heard they are getting another F100 as well another F50....
Don't know where they are going to put them though.....

Could it be a re-invintation to the good old days of MMA?

At the very least they can use the A320s in September of coming years when the Eagles win consecutive premierships!

Aaaaaah Bloggsy, now that just photo just brought back a whole lot of bittersweet memories.
A simple and more civilised time when aviators were really like Ernie Ganns "Band of Brothers" and the crews knew most of their passengers by their first names.
It's never been the same or as good since.

Right on, Gaunty! Although they did have their barnies with management; the jet jockeys of today have those fellas (and others on the east coast at the time) to thank for the conditions they currently enjoy (or did until recently...
).
TRY to win...

"Where are they going to put them?" The answer to that would be in the air.
If you ever see them parked on the ground together then they aren't being used enough.

Eagleman, yeh I know, skywest will do it differently.............from Compass 1, compass 2, Impulse, Ozjet ( the other one with DC9s ) etc and the few that did'nt even get off the ground.
The boss wanted to have 7 or 8 F100s 2 years ago, where'd they get to ?
