I'd rather not be a wholly owned; we have had talks with United in the past for flow and rumor is Skywest turned it down because we can't afford to lose pilots. Not being wholly owned means you have more clients, Skywest has a very diverse portfolio flying for every Mainline as well as capital to buy its own aircraft and simulators, the latter of which are hard to rent nowadays. Still filling classes with 40 new hires in the last class, upgrade is dropping and quick upgrades at tsa and psa will eventually go away especially with 50 seater draw down. Skywest has been around 40 years and going strong.
