This argument seems to be right up there with "my dad can beat up your dad". I'm sure that SKYW and RAH will both have a future in the E-Jet business.
By 2020, I think between DAL, UAL, AMR, and possibly Alaska and others, there will be plenty of scope concessions to allow at least 400 large RJs. Probably more. In fact, I think this is good news for ExpressJet, too, because I can't imagine every one of these airframes will be placed at SkyWest Airlines.
