Usually I think the Motley Fool is full of crap, but this article doesn't seem too far off the mark. If you actually read it, though, you'd see that SkyWest Airlines is pretty healthy while the XJT side of the company is the source of financial consternation. So yeah, I might steer clear of SKYW as an investment, and word on the street is that ExpressJet might not be a great choice right now for potential applicants. I still believe SkyWest Airlines (not the whole INC) is in good shape right now. For a regional, at least.
