Incorrect, we have the ability to bid on EAS routes and restart routes mainline has cancelled. Over 75% of our E-120 flying and quite a bit of our CRJ flying is EAS or non-mainline routes that are controlled by SkyWest. Last I heard the number was around 10% of our overall monthly block hours fully belong to SkyWest and are not controlled by mainline. We just contract with them to sell the tickets. That provides non-risk free feed to our mainline partners which they love, SkyWest is best at this type of flying / partnerships.

Awhile back CC posted a map of our at-risk flying, I can’t find if but if someone can, you’d be AMAZED at how much we do!

This is much like what Great Lakes does and does any mainline partner control their routes? no.
