Why won't the flying go to SkyWest? Simple answer. When a company shrinks, its unit costs go up. When a company grows, its costs go down. SKW Inc. needs to grow ASA to lower our costs. There would be no training costs.
As for SkyWest taking the 50s, they don't need them. They are already fat... that's why they're in ATL and CVG.
