The engines leased to gojet are coming back.
In one years time as United scope hammers our large aircraft numbers having so having a 550 program will be important to have.

So, an important take away for me is that skywest currently operates 471 aircraft and they anticipate coming out the other side operating 450 aircraft. That’s a net down-sizing of 21 airplanes.
I’ve never run an airline but a 4.5% contraction of fleet size doesn’t seem horrendous to me.
I know there must be a pile of calculations to determine overall company health, but we need crews to operate 450 aircraft. Maybe we can make it through without furloughs. Maybe.

450 the other side isn’t bad, but pre covid we were hiring for attrition and 500+ aircraft. So were caught with 5300 pilots on the list.. So question is will part time and a VTO float us through the other side...??...
