Hmmm... Interesting. When I google "SkyWest Inc" the first two links lead to the SkyWest Airlines website, the third is the Wikipedia article that states:

History

SkyWest, Inc. became the parent company of SkyWest Airlines in order to facilitate the transfer of the sale of Delta Air Lines, Inc. subsidiary, ASA to SkyWest, Inc.
Sounds like a corporate shell-game/paper shuffle to me.

SKYW Inc. HQ wouldn't happen to be in a medium-sized desert town in southern Utah, would it?
