There's currently a huge CP Kool-Aid Pep-Rally attempting to convince us to fly them for -200 rates. I know SKW has a “last look clause” so the RFP is truly theirs to lose and the difference between -200 and -700 rates won’t stop them.

Where will they go? Anyone who knows is only guessing. LAX, SFO, DEN, ORD and IAH? Take your pick. At first it would be growth for SKW but it’s been made known that as our -200 come off lease they will be returned with the Q400 being it’s replacement.

Bottom line, everyone in the know can't talk about it due to SEC laws so anything you read or hear is pure speculation…………including this.
