Skywest wouldn't have to create a reservation system as they have recently bought an airline that already has one on the shelf, ready to be used again. They also bought this airline with approval and in very close coordination with CAL management. Skywest has an order for 100 MRJs with deliveries beginning in 2017 (and options for 100 more). Maybe its just a coincidence? I honestly don't know.
