I think Republic and Air Wisconsin have the most to worry about right now.
Skywest has been in business since 1972. That's through all the ups and downs. Right now they are adding flying like crazy and by the way, they own their planes. The 50 seaters are still making money. When they don't, park them and continue with crj 700/900 and the E-175's. They are buying more E-175s too... Also hiring 100 pilots a month and only losing 40.
Also lead customer for the MRJ but that is delayed.
If you think SkyWest will fail before envoy or endeavor your crazy.. They have a niche and it's working for them..
