This summer is still going to be a disaster, staffing wise. I'm expecting SkyWest Inc. to cancel more flying on the DAL side than anything else. Watch them protect the AA stuff and make that the priority. With DAL trying to cut our rates, and SkyWest needing an "out", I bet new AA flying becomes the priority, and sound performance there sets us up for the growth. If DAL won't pay the bills, maybe AA will?
Just to be clear, Skywest Inc signed a contract with DAL that requires a rate reset in 2015 for both Skywest and ExpressJet operated Delta flights. This rate reset requires Skywest Inc to be the 2nd cheapest DCI operator. So it isn't that Delta is trying to cut Skywest Inc rates. It's that Skywest Inc management agreed to a rate reset in order to secure flying. This info is available in the latest Skywest 10-K.
