Well, it can, but they don't know if it's economically feasible.
Read: how many passengers they have to leave behind to make it work.

The pettiness is strong with this one. SkyWest just might be one of the most successful regional airlines to date.

Heard those skywest guys trained to fly into Aspen is all they do. True?

I remember when I did that approach for the first time.. man it was interesting.

Petty? Oh yes, but saying OO might be the most successful regional is like saying your the best loser. It’s still a regional.

They do extensive Sim training . 4 sims I believe.. Then they do regular CQ and 6 months later Aspen CQ..

Makes sense.

The trips are built 99.99% around flowing in and out of Aspen. I’ve seen maybe a few random turns assigned to them over the years

Is it Aspen only or DMA only?

So go from CFI to the majors? Most of us look at any regional as a stepping stone, but this is a more sturdy stone than most. However, there are some who have made OO their home until age 65.
