Careful paxhauler... we're dealing with a badass here.
Tony - as I said, they got it for a steal of a price - MAYBE at a loss. The general understanding at AA/AE (where I work) is that Skywest operates them at a loss. Now, over on the Skywest side, they may be taking AA to the bank for what they are charging. Who knows, but with the current climate of 50 seat flying, the price to operate those -200s would have to be pretty low, don't you think? Especially since the Skywest LAX deal is only a 4 year contract.
