Is it going to be a temporary deal while you guys build up your staffing levels and once they're adequate OO returns them back to Horizon?

We have no idea. Our management won't tell us so we're suing them.

Nowhere, just speculating. You're right however, until the company makes an announcement it's all speculation.

SKYW doesn't like deals like that, they will likely hold out for min 3-5 year contract on these jets. That's the only way a company can operate them efficiently and profitably.

Skywest was said to be getting 5 175s early 2018 for Alaska flying. Now Skywest is going to take the 6 Horizon planes. Horizon is deferring the delivery but will get others and have all the ones they planned on in 2018.

Does that just mean that SW is getting its 5 planes earlier? Or does it mean it will get 11 total?

Yes, SKW doesn't do short-term, stop-gap deals.

No one knows... zero is being said by management... makes me think there is more to this story... if it was that cut and dry they would have posted something... but they also realy didn't post much about the 5 starting March... (they accidentally sliped and said it on the last Q call)
