Will it last? Who knows, but I don't have control over that. Any of us could be gone at any time I get that, but I will continue to do anything I can to better the profession until we go under. My point is out of all the other regional operators out there, Skywest is the only one I would want to be associated with from a financial standpoint. People always talk about the 50 seaters. Well, there will always be some need for them, and to quote the earnings call, it is Skywest and XJTs hope that we will be the companies used to fill those voids, however much smaller they may be in the future. ExpressJet hasn't lost money in 3 months now, so I'd appreciate it if people still stuck on that bandwagon would get the heck off. Mark my words, we will show a profit as a whole in Q2 and thereafter.

That 40hr is year 2-3 at SKW. RAH top out cant touch that. Plus you add in no pay for MX cancellations, weather, ect = a bad choice going to RAH.

I stand corrected, 600 million in cash on hand. :rolleyes:

Slight thread hijack but anyone have someone to contact at Republic to check on an application submitted on the Republic website. It's been a few months and heard nothing. I meet the mins and would like to rattle the cage a bit and see what the hold up is.

Back on topic: Like has been said before, take the class date with RAH and think positive. I have been through the furlough game in '08 and the ups and downs of the industry. If you sit around worrying then life will be miserable. Do whats best for you.
