Tony,

You've been doing this long enough. So be honest. You're telling me you honestly believe SkyWest Inc would make it in their own? No more gravy train FFD contracts. SkyWest Inc now must pay for their own fuel, mx, training, etc. All of it. They'll be responsible for advertising, insurance, catering, cleaning crews, gates, slots, etc.

Tell me how well that's gone for Independence Air, ExpressJet branded, Virgin America, SkyBus, and Republic. How will SkyWest Inc be different? RAH had tons of cash & great financing before they bought F9. Now look at them. They're desperately trying to sell F9. BB is running with his tail between his legs. SkyWest has neither the brand nor the client base to go a it on their own. Codeshare likely won't change that. RAH currently has FFD contracts supporting their Frontier operation, and it's still losing money. Please tell me how SkyWest Inc will be different.
