Skywest Airlines dba United Express

Right now I should be in the air on my way to New Orleans. When flying out of a small airport like Fresno, Ca. to a far off destination, you must first catch a regional puddle jumper like Skywest to a larger airport for a connection.
Twice for us that connection has been to LAX. Both times it was Skywest DBA United. Both times the flight was canceled last minute for the same reason. No flight crew.
Connections in San Francisco, San Jose, Phoenix, Denver or Salt Lake City are no problem. It seems to just be the LAX connection.
First time we were on our way to New York. Just as we were ready to board they came out and told us we had no crew. By the time we got to New York it was 7 hours later.
Today we had an event planned at 7:30 in New Orleans. Instead of arriving at 4:00, I’ll arrive at 9:21. On my way to the airport I got a text that they are canceling due to crew availability.
I think Skywest needs to take a look at the FAT to LAX crew. Seems to be a reoccurring problem.
My advice, if flying out of Fresno, pick a connection anywhere but LAX.
Okay, trip is almost over. In LAX heading back to Fresno. Skywest connection… no plane? It will be an hour and a half wait for a one hour flight. Gotta find a plane and crew.
This is more than just a problem. Buyer beware. I’ll never fly this connection again and would advise anyone else to avoid it also.
