If SkyWest wants to play chicken with Delta, by all means. However Delta will win in the long term.
Just look at Continental and ExpressJet. You dont play chicken with someone 10X your size and that is accoutable for 2/3rds of your total earnings.
Nice power play Jerry!
I don't think you are exactly qualified to call JA stupid. I suspect your track record in business falls short of his, by several orders of magnitude.
You might want to spend a little more energy worrying about xjets future, and less on skw. From a purely objective point of view, xjet is facing a lot more uncertainty.
Maybe you could apply to skw again? They will usually re-interview after 6 months. (unless you REALLY blew the first one

).
