SkyWest doesn’t have 30 planes in New York. They have 30 E175SCs, but if i had to guess, about 10 of them are already out west in SLC.
My wishful thinking is that SkyWest will move 10 planes out of DTW/MSP further west and we’ll move 10 planes from NYC to DTW/MSP.
However common delta wisdom says if anything we’ll gain even more NYC flying and republic will open a DTW base or something and move some planes out there.
