Skywest - here for the long haul?

Skywest appear to be hanging in there following the intro of the F100 on the Argyle route. Does this mean they are turning a profit, or making ends meet, even with the minimal amount of contract flying?
If so, do they still have plans to expand and bring in more F100 to WA market? I wish them luck, a serious WA competitior is a welcome move from red tail dominance.
Anyone know if they are likely to be employing soon?

Well yes, every time the F100 starts up it makes a big fat profit, on charters, going to all states i hear, and more to come down the track, so as i have said before just wait and watch............

Saw the 100 with Skywest painted on the side. The tail is still white. One would assume it will have a new logo sometime down the track.

Angry

They wont be around much longer if they dont stop blowing black sh!t over my airplanes.
come on guys, look behind your plane and remeber the parked aircraft behind you....... you managed to get my 172 airborne on the ropes the other day. It take several hours to wash these aircraft only to have them covered in hard to remove black snot next day, maybe I should start forwarding the washing costs to the ops department.

WIZ, Try parking your heap somewhere else, as RPT aircraft must park on marked yellow lines.
PS. Maybe the black snot you are talking about is comming from the 146's.........Dick.

Actually topend old mate, they do. But these fellas have been at it since before they came in. MU2 I have been parking my plane there for five years now........well before there was bitumen and yellow lines. where would you sugest I park my aircraft?? over near the bush on the south side of the field? then you mob will blow black snot all over it when you park in the other direction.......you know, when you have two parked up there over night. I leave the whole apron there for you guys and you still cant manage a little bit of common sense and idle off the mark or roll forward a little bit when you start the port engine....... admittedly one or two of you do, and thanx fellas, but the other blokes ........ well get stuffed.
as for my aircraft being heaps........ at least I own em fella, I dont have to work for **** money like you. Its good knowing I work half the hours and get twice the money you do
I do hope you wernt calling me a dick..........if you were, why dont you wander over and introduce yourself when your here next..... we can discuss it in detail.

Wiz, where abouts on the airfield are you referring to? Is it when the 100 is departing from the terminal or is it at the north end where it sits out front of the Skywest hangar. I've only ever seen 172's parked across from the Flight Centre and that seems like a fair way away from their hangar. If it's before departure there is a taxiway behind it.....

Details I know but I'd like to make sure so I give your plane a wide berth in case you come and "discuss it in detail"
