Well, it can, but they don't know if it's economically feasible.
Read: how many passengers they have to leave behind to make it work.

The pettiness is strong with this one. SkyWest just might be one of the most successful regional airlines to date.

Petty? Oh yes, but saying OO might be the most successful regional is like saying your the best loser. It’s still a regional.

The trips are built 99.99% around flowing in and out of Aspen. I’ve seen maybe a few random turns assigned to them over the years

So go from CFI to the majors? Most of us look at any regional as a stepping stone, but this is a more sturdy stone than most. However, there are some who have made OO their home until age 65.
