You don't understand the whole codeshare thing, do you? RAH will not be able to just codeshare to profitability. Skywest can not just buy big jets and codeshare to profitability. There are so many more expenses when you start paying for your own gas, reservation systems, ticketing, landing fees, taxes, etc. The fee for departure contracts will begin drying up, and it's becoming a whole new ballgame.
It willeasier for RAH since they aquired F9 and have many of these things in place already.
