You wish this was just a rumor...
The contract limits them from cutting anymore without paying the 150 million. They can cut Comair and Expressjet at will, they can't cut skywest or republic. That is why you saw those 12 crj-700s that were transfered last year. Besides Skywest is still getting 4 more crj 900s this year for delta and is happily moving 50 seaters from delta to midwest and ual. By the end of the year skywest will only have about 40 left for slc.
If I were you merit I would worry more about your airline with its 270 overpriced 50 seaters not skywest.
