A friend who reads the SEC filings and such said Skywest is planning to lose 170-ish airplanes from its fleet between 2011-2014, spread between Brasilias, CRJ-200s and EMB-145s.

So there's that.
Not to mention the tremendous increase in international flying since the joint venture started. We would be crushed as a standalone airline in the international arena.
