I can't discuss specifics but SkyWest is not going from 45 EMBs to 39 just because of the runway closure in SFO this summer. Expect all 45 EMBs to be flying their tails off all summer. There is strategic planning in place for SFO but it wont be initially obvious. I think everyone will start to figure out when they see it for themselves.

The EMB is the second most profitable aircraft in the fleet, and you dont just park 15% of them for a few months. I hope that helps it make more sense.
