You may be right, personally If not SkyWest Pinnacle is one of the pilot groups who I like to see get flying. All the Pinnacle guys I have come across have been nothing but great to deal with and talk to. I do have a pretty good idea however that Southwest is looking at these 2 carriers to do flying. Good luck to you and your group in all you do.
