Bro, I agree with you. I was just joking. 40+ airplanes is like 300+ in each seat.

Nothing official yet. Just speculation at this point since we're so overstaffed on the 175 in ORD.

2. What is the current upgrade time? Is it still looking like 4-5 years?

Again, thank you for your time.
If you're ORD based you can always jump on one of our direct flights as well. Not sure Skywest is going to give you the kind of lifestyle where commuting from ANC to ANY base is a good deal though. It's not a very family friendly airline for commuters :/

I used to commute ANC ORD it's miserable and ORD will be your first base most likely. There's not many flights and depending on direction of flight and time of year they planes are weight restricted. ORD only sees 737 unless something's changed and it's the worst seat to be stuck on for 4 hours plus! Go to an airline with only West Coast bases you'll thank me later.
