well since skywest operates on a fee for departure, i assume, and jetblue was sending planes out half full (how big is the market for a BOS to SEA anyway) i dont think they compare.

You may not be aware, but SKW has a history of turning down expansion opportunities rather than risking overloading their system (al la mesa).

Also, as was mentioned, SKW gets paid to fly the airplanes... it is the partners responsibility to fill them up.
