To those that are researching where to go to start their airline career, a financially stable company is very important and that's one thing that Skywest is good at.
I TOTALLY agree there will be another (possibility of two) more Regionals added to the graveyard but I highly doubt United allows a “Aviate Carrier” to go, with the exception of Air Wisconsin, since United already refused to renew that contract. They have too much invested in that program, to include the flight school. I do think merger of some AA WO’s might happen and maybe Delta dissolve Endeavor into Delta (brining all onboard and parking the 200’s). I think Republic & SkyWest are the Safest as they don’t have all their routes locked up into one Major. But I do agree both of them need to raise wages, to match inflation
