The legacy's can't afford to send aircraft somewhere to flood a market they don't already have. They tried that and failed. How do you think Southwest got started? There were the same big players in the field then. This is besides the point. SKW is a regional because they are limited to regional aircraft. I don't care how much they make. Lets not take this into the relm of what ifs ect. It doesn't matter. They are a regional. Not a major. They can't exercise the privilages of a major.
