Alaska: 1455 pilots.....116 aircraft.....Legacy
Frontier: 718 pilots.....52 aircraft......Major
Hawaiian: 404 pilots.....33 aircraft......Legacy
Virgin Amr: 327 pilots.....28 aircraft......Major

As for SKW signing an agreement with AT? I seriously doubt it.

Keep it ALL in-house airTran!!!!

What trouble? I jumpseat airTran every week and this is news to me. Also remember they're short staffed and one of the hand full of carriers turning a profit all while directly competeing with DAL and SWA. That's impressive in my book.

It was just announced. Skywest flying 5 CRJ-200s for AirTran, based in MKE...

AirTran Airways - Press Release

Can someone explain exactly whats going on? From the press release it sounds like they won't be acting as an AirTran feeder, but moreso a standalone Skywest Airlines branded operation flying in support of, and sharing profits/losses, with AirTran.

It's "at risk" flying, so essentially it's a code share
