You really think Skywest would just give up the flying if they weren't underbid, and couldn't make money at the rates CommutAir likely underbid the RFP?

If my information is correct no other operator has bid to operate them.
The airline or airlines that flew/are flying them, for whatever reasons, are not trying to renew the flying.
If Skywest has made a decision to walk away from this flying it can't be construed as underbidding.

First class operation, make no mistake.

In the memo it mentioned he was still working on his bachelors. Sounds like he will be 100% dedicated to his job duties! This is just one of the small examples of C5

Maybe it means that UAL wasn't willing to pay enough for the flying to be profitable?

If what MaxQ says is accurate then it only means they choose to not want it, no one snatch it from under their nose
