Who said SkyWest wants an all jet fleet? The Brasilia has been a strong part of the SkyWest operation for at least the United side. The Q400 is a most likely replacement or a complement to the Brasilia operations that will eventually be phased out down the road. The Q400 makes a lot of sense to our operation where the jet doesnt. And im sure thats the same to ALL our airlines we work for, the Q400 makes a lot of sense financially to the operation. Its still all speculation on who Big UAL or whoever wants to give their support to on such Q400 ops.
