It sounds like the same tune that is being played at Eagle and other regionals. You guys do/did have a good thing going but by your own accounts things are deteriorating rather fast and it's just a matter of time before SKW has to become just like the other regionals to be able to compete. Having money in the bank doesn't mean anything, look at the AMR BK, on paper they are loosing money while increasing their cash on hand. I hope you guys continue a good operation but the odds are against you!
I agree but we didn't just figure this out, it’s been a very slow erosion that everyone here has noticed. Well everyone but the newbies. Even with the deterioration SkyWest is still the best subcontractor to do your time with. I will leave as soon as I can because there's a judgment day approaching, not only for SkyWest but for the entire regional/subcontractor industry.

XJT’s dragging SkyWest Inc. into the red and although SkyWest Airlines is till turning a profit the question is “how long can they and will they keep feeding the problem?” It’s obvious XJT’s not willing to assist and work together to turn this ship around; they seem to be content in watching it sink. Which that’s what XJT’s been doing since 06, bleeding and sinking, and they think there’s nothing wrong.
