Regardless of what Skywest does, the long term plan is for Envoy to do all of the LAX flying. PHX has now put the delay on that for some time. Expect PHX to grow quite a bit in the coming year. This time next year I could see 2 to 2.5 times the current pilot staff there. Transitioning our pilots from 145 to 175 is putting the brakes on PHX growing like gangbusters right now.
