SKYWEST, INC. SELECTED FOR ADDITIONAL REGIONAL JET FLYING

ST. GEORGE, UT, PRNewswire/

-- SkyWest, Inc. (NASDAQ: SKYW) announced today that it has been selected for the first allocation of regional jet flying related to an existing Request For Proposal (RFP) by Delta Air Lines, Inc. (Delta). The first allocation of aircraft consists of 12 Bombardier CRJ700s, previously operated by Comair, Delta’s wholly owned subsidiary. The aircraft will serve markets from Delta’s hub in Cincinnati and will begin to transition to SkyWest, Inc. in February 2007. The aircraft will operate under a contract flying arrangement with Delta.

I think that sounds like good news in terms of expansion for SkyWest

Yeah....at Comair's expense!

I start class with Comair on December 14, I wonder how this will affect me?

I'm sure comair knew this would happen. I think this will make the attrition increase even more than it already has been

Look's like the beginning of the end for Comair. I hope not.:(

Seems like all of the "regional" flying for Delta will be done by Skywest, Chautauqua, then Comair in that order. Don't know what the percentages are, but it looks like this is the way it's going to fall.

I would not like to see the end of comair.

Sorry, I was beng selfish about my post, I did not mean to offend or disrespect the current or future employees.

It's horrible that Comair is losing this flying. But at very least we can be thankful that SkyWest got the planes, and not the likes of Mesa, GoJets, or some other bottom feeding ******hole.

TRUE!!!

Uhhhhhhgggggghhhhhh.....followed by the sounds of my hands slapping my forehead. I think the skywest guys are now going to have to look deep within themselves to wonder whether or not this is crossing the line, and I hope you all know what line I'm talking about.

embarassed former SkyWest,
