Skywest actually has a better track record than that...I rode on them when I was a child, and their immediate future still looks pretty good. Nothing is for certain in this industry, but there are no obvious clouds on the skywest horizon.
But keep your options open like BUR said...living at or near your domicile is a key to regional QOL. Try to identify all of the regionals that are in the area you want to live in. If you don't care where you live, then you will have more flexibility.
