Allegiant? I thought you said you wanted to go to a major?

restricted = 1500TT, 200 X country
Restricted from a 2 year university program= 1250TT, 200xc
Restricted graduate from a 4 year program = 1000TT, 200 xc
Restricted graduate from military program = 750TT, 200 xc
If you are within 3 months of reaching one of these minimums, apply.

For those curious, Mitsubishi has restarted test flights of the MRJ after halting them in December. Initial tests found the wingbox structure could not handle the 150% ultimate load test. Have to say, the takeoff and landing looked smooth as glass. And boy is she quiet.

One story said the second and third test plane are out of the hangar and will be flying soon. Mitsubishi plans to have four planes in Moses Lake, WA by September for testing with Boeing's help.
So with 100 orders and an option for 100 more, is SkyWest looking to replace planes or expand its fleet with a third variant?
