And Skywest is startiing to falter on the flying that they've committed to as well.

IIRC, the ERJ renewal talks don't even begin until later this year. So that would be why they don't have anything slated for further out yet. But yet, the doom and gloom of many kill this airline. I'm not saying that we don't have our problems, as we do, but we are still in a much better position that many others as well.
And as far as upgrade time goes, the CRJ side will be about 6 years within the next year.
