Wow. This turned into a SkyWest topic....Facts. 1) SKW wanted this flying.. I think they are more set up for a large RFP win, not a small 5-15 aircraft RFP.. 2) the PHX 200 flying is done cheap.. (Not at a loss) those planes are all "off lease" aircraft making the operation realy cheap.. Mesa has turned around into a cheap, lean RFP machine...
