The rumor at OO, and I do believe it's a very strong likelihood, is that SkyWest will be pulling out of IAH. That came directly from some of their senior captains based there. No matter what, if you plan to play the snowbird, commuting between Houston and Minnesota 6 months out of the year will be a royal PITA that seems to be exactly what you'll want to avoid at this stage in your life. This I know because I'm in basically the same place. Cheers.
