No, not the quarterly schedule bid that agents at SkyWest have to complete, the bid SkyWest had to submit to United for the 3 Photo_021108_002.jpgyear ground-handling contract. The first one got sent back rather abruptly and SkyWest was told to, “try again. Much lower this time.”

SO they did. And we won. But just barely

Hours have been slashed as a result of the reduction in the contract, as I’m now making only 32 hours a week scheduled, max and min, I’ve been in contact with the powers that be to see if I can get a job that, while certainly more stressful, also includes a paycheck that I can actually live on.

Hopefully I can arrange everything so that San Antonio is where I end up. While I will certainly miss Denver’s many things to-do, I’ll definitely not miss its snow.
