Like I said, it's a rumor. But it's only a rumor because it hasn't been made public.

ALPA is doing great! More jobs at mainline where total compensation is much higher is 100% the right direction to take things. Of course, there will always be regional airlines to fly some 200s to Minot and Podunk. So no need to worry about your Skywest going anywhere. Anyone with a plan b of going to mainline will be ok. But it's always good to have plan c outside the industry. That's what gives me the warm fuzzy feeling, not having all my eggs in the regional basket.

Ok, I see what you mean. Our management says they are making good progress of extending our current fleet of 145s through 2019. But I won't believe it until it's in an SEC filing.
