How senior is the PHX base? Is it only a CRJ 200 base or does it also offer 700s and 900s?

Looking at the 10K filing there is no listing of simulators being owned by OO.

I believe the sims are all owned by flight safety, but SkyWest engages in what's known as 'virtual ownership'.

I think that means they get a lower rate on sim time and have exclusive use of the sims.

Yes we own them, says Skywest in huge letters on this side, to my knowledge we've never leased out our sims

What other sims does Skywest own?

Flight Safety does not sell simulators, their claim is that there is too much propriety information that could be copied. FSI only leases or rents sims. SkyWest has just rented every hour, ( 20 hours per day ), that is called virtual ownership (as was posted earlier). Skywest has done that at SLC and DEN, we are also booking time at CVG, ATL, and STL for the CRJ. We are booking time at STL and Paris CDG for the 175.

To the best of my limited knowledge?

Just because their is a Big Blue SkyWest Sticker on the Sim doesn't mean Skywest owns them.


We have aircraft owned by Wells Fargo but we lease them paint them in what ever partner livery and only a small operated by Skywest painted on the outside.

The sims are not owned by Skywest. They are not reflected on the 10K.

I think that has been established.

There's a placard that says owned by Skywest in the 175s. The 175 sims aren't at flight safety. Pretty sure they are Skywest owned
