Airframes operated by SkyWest are owned by SkyWest. They would not be included in your fleet count. 100's of 175's could go to Horizon? Good luck recruiting the pilots to fly them.

The “fleet planning guy” said we could possibly have around 500 airframes by 2024. Maybe we can expect 100s of 175s! After all Skywest does have 100s of 175 on order. Most west coast RJ service!

Guess who the launch customer for the MD-90 was. Hint: ALASKA AIRLINES.
Now guess how many MD-90s showed up on the property. Hint: Zero.
Orders are easy to cancel. An old Navy CPO once told me, "Never believe the rumors of new aircraft until they show up on the ramp AND they turn over the maintenance logbooks."

Angle Lake is a 3-ring circus.

My uneducated .02 is that,what has worked in the past isn’t going to work so well going forward with relentless competitors on your doorstep now without fighting back.
There might be leadership, but it is definitely hard to believe in a company with no plan other than regional jets and “we’ll see.”
