Having been given that option, I chose SKW. Very happy I did! I would have made more money initially at PSA (ironic, isn't it?), but the company culture there didn't feel right to me.

As for fleet reductions....it seems that, so far, management has been successful in finding other work for the 200s. I'm sure we'll see some go away. Hopefully at about the same rate as E175 replacements.

People have been saying SkyWest is going to lose flying and downsize for years and years. Like that elusive pilot shortage, I'm still waiting to see it :P
