With performance numbers in the tank, attrition only going to get worse, no new hires to fill classes, and aircraft leaving. It almost seems like the smart thing for Skywest to do is cut their losses and slowly start taking over our routes with E175. If anybody here listened to the Skywest earnings call, you probably heard one of the main investors asking "why is Skywest continually giving resources to the sister companies when they keep losing money and Skywest itself is posting profits." You could tell from their answer that they were kind of jumping around the question.
From a business standpoint it makes sense but I know they are trying to fulfill that "Super Regional" motto of theirs. Maybe others have better insight but that is just my opinion.
