The pilots had nothing to do with the incidents.
The flight was Sky West not United.
Sky West is contracted by United to operate United Express.
Sky West hires and trains their own pilots and their own crews.
Sky West also runs Delta’s and Alaska’s regionals.
I believe this aircraft was actually operated by Republic with United Express colors.
Which is part of the problem. Commuter airlines pilots don’t get anything like the salary and benefits of major carriers.
You want to get promoted and fly for REAL United Airlines? Don’t make waves and don’t contradict the power crazed gate manager who is declaring he’s in charge and will write a report on you that will end your career aspirations.
It was Republic Airlines, not Sky West.
