Successful European low-cost carriers Ryanair and Easyjet use a scheduling approach virtually unheard of in the U.S. market. Skybus has elected to use a similar concept that will dramatically improve the quality of life for crew members and also provide a system for effective and efficient aircraft scheduling.

They seem to be trying pretty hard to emulate Ryanair ... the same airline that
prohibited employees from charging their mobile phones at work as a cost-savings measure. And
refused to recognize the legitimacy of the IALPA when their pilots tried collective bargaining.
All of that is Ryanair, not Skybus, but they definitely admire them a lot in their application to the DOT.
How do APA and ALPA deal with a start-up that won't pay what are considered competitive wages. At that point it's not really struck work, is it?
