I would expect in 2015 that Skywest will lower the bar again when the Mesa 900 flying comes up for renewal.Skywest will run out of money eventually since they choose to fly at a loss and could follow Mesa in BK. I don't think any regional is immune to BK if they continue down the Mesa path of business.
Yep, clearly SkyWest has no idea how to make money at the airline business, and are well on their way to Mesa's financial status. I'm glad you were able to point that out for us.
