He doesn’t mind it being slow as long as we are one of the best in performance & profitability and we maintain our respect. I know some may say that "we're a regional so what respect can we have?" Well, SKW won't accept flying just to gain market share, they what to remain profitable and well respected in the business industry and brand imaging counts for something. Just look at MAG, don’t you think that UAL is getting sick of all the negative press as well as the headaches (cancellations, poor performance, poorly maintained a/c, poor customer service, etc) and extra money it costs them to find a carrier willing and able to fly the flying MAG can’t staff during the peak season. It cost UAL extra when time is short. In 09 you’ll see UAL (as well as a few others) start turning to better performing regionals that cost .02+ cents per seat per mile more and to offset the cost you'll see more efficient 66+ seaters enter into the industry coupled with a reduction in 50 seat flying.
