The 787 was ordered years ago because NWA wanted the service contract, I even worked on that program. When we went bankrupt, Boeing balked, which is funny because the 787 went to ****.

One sentence and it puts everything Skywest and friends are doing in perspective.

You can get to just about anywhere in Asia from SEA with an A330 NEO, at 1/3 the price of a 777-300. You can also get from JFK to all of Europe and from ATL to Africa and South America.
My guess, 50 A330 NEO's. But that's just a guess.
