AirTran Airways - Press Release Can someone explain exactly whats going on? From the press release it sounds like they won't be acting as an AirTran feeder, but moreso a standalone Skywest Airlines branded operation flying in support of, and sharing profits/losses, with AirTran. |

You got it. It's most likely how regional contracts will be from now on. It's at risk, which means if AirTran loses $$$ on those routes then SkyWest loses $$$ in those routes.

So will these planes have "AirTran" or "Skywest" painted on the side?

Old routes
Aren't these the current Midwest Connect routes that Skywest flies for Midwest?
For the record you guys at SKW do an excellent job with your Midwest code share. I ride often between DSM and MKE. I'm jealous that you have a MKE base, but glad SKW does the DSM route and not RP on the EMB's, though that is changing. Good luck at this. I fly with a bunch of Air Willy pilots that really enjoyed flying for AirTran down in ATL. Together you and AirTran can take down RP in MKE. That would be saweeeet! |
