I believe Skywest had 100 firm, 100 options originally as well as another order for the E2 (can't remember the numbers but think it was 100/100).
I'm not promoting SJS but get the facts kind of right
Republic (including Shuttle America) has 180+ Ejets. But you're right, Skywest is getting a very large share of Ejets and will eventually out number the other companies.
