It is more like a theory. If it could be done Skywest could do well. That is all I am saying. I know the size of aircraft hasn't changed in years but I see it going up. Don't ask me how. I am just bitter and pessimistic about the way things have been going with the airlines.

So I have factual proof through history, & your proof is simply a hunch.

And the size of allowable RJs hasn't changed in years.

Still doesn't explain how SkyWest Inc will be different from all the failed attempts I listed.

The wink was a sign of sarcasm, as well as being in quotes.

It's a tag line for the kool aid drinkers.

I know this isn't worth anything at all... I jumpseat on SKW all the time and I've heard numerous folks talk about a recent order for 7500 iPads. Thats what? Roughly the number of the combined ASA/XJT, and SKW pilot groups. I'll believe it when I see it though. Seems silly to arm the 50 seaters with iPads now. I'm sure there is alot of testing that needs to be done, plus wiring both sides of the cockpit with mounts and charging stations.
