Since this would add over an additional year to upgrade, SkyWest has fallen to the bottom of my list of places to work. Is there any chance this may be going away in the current environment?

I would bet that time changes... to much growth to hold those times... were already hit that line and the 45 new E175’s are just starting. Bet by Christmas there is a new time requirement..
