Explain that to Mesa. SKW didn't have code shares until the LATE 80's, that's 14+ years of profitable "At Risk" flying. After SKW picked up their first code share most of their flying was still "At Risk" until the 90's. Today all of our flying isn't fee-for-departure, we still do a good amount of "At Risk" flying for a regional with code shares.
