Do you know different, or are you just really hoping that Delta picks Pinnacle to do more of the 900 work?
as far as i understand skywest is getting their last plane this month. the contract is for 17 planes, and if you read it (i cant remember the link where its at, but when i find it again i will post it) we will also be "rewarded" more planes and flying based on performance.. i can bet you dollars to doughnuts that we already have plans to fly in slc and lax. our company already filed a request with the dot for flights into and out of several west coast cities, such as lax, boi, phx, etc, etc... i can tell you right now we wont be doing an atl-lax flight in a little ole 900. so the flights would have to originate out west somewhere... plus my "sources" still say that we will start with smaller bases in slc and lax, and that little by little more and more planes will be added.
