5 years ago I would have said over 50%, today I'd say 25% and I expect that number to keep decreasing. Remember that they closed 7 domiciles in the last 3 years and it's looking like a few more will close. That decreases the number of lifers, especially since the majority of these closures are west coast.

The closures weren't from loss of flying but SkyWest trying to decrease outstation basing in order to run a leaner airline. This is causing a lot to think about leaving.
