i dont think skywest will be flying for cal anytime soon now. it wouldn't make sense for cal to give xj a brand new deal and also give skywest a meger 29 planes also. that wouldn't even be worth it to skywest. all the extra training, and man power that would be required to run it would out way whatever deal they had. even our dummies here at pinnacle know that if we cant make good money if all we have is 17 900's for delta. the mx, pilot training, and other overhead just isn't worth it without a substantial deal.

The deal SKW worked out with CAL to buy XJT would have had Skywest pilots flying 29 XJT aircraft for CAL as a second separate CPA. I'm sure SKW was also pursuing flying some of XJT's aircraft if a the buyout didn't happen although the 51 aircraft threat was never a sure thing anyways either way.
