Sorry to highjack the thread.
The Skywest Brasilias are owned by Skywest and are flying "at risk." Those are Skywest flights codesharing with Delta. Similar to Alaska codesharing with Delta. It's not setup as a "fee per departure" plus Delta doesn't own any of Skywest's Brasilias so they have no control over what Skywest does with those aircraft.
