They are, but things are about to change. They have a very significant cost reset coming up from DL, and the legacy airlines they feed off of are already getting concerned about their marketshare and pricing clout. Fortunately for the managers at legacy airlines, they can simply create a zero longevity phantom airline or three out of dust and rapidly transfer lift to them. SKYW is in a shrinking sector over all, but is fairly well positioned to take advantage of one final growth spurt as AA/UAL rationalize their feed with their peers. Then that's it. The only sources of not only growth but preserving what they have at that point will be the scopeless airlines like AS and JB or going IndyAir. They will try it one day. And they will not succeed. But they will probably bleed many billions from the legacy airlines before they bleed out their one.

SkyW will try and transfer more mainline legacy flying to their shiny new barbie jets regardless of the jobs lost or the negative pressure on existing labor. They would love to get the 100-120 seaters at their "regional". I wish them nothing but the worst if and when they attempt to do that.
