TPs are pretty efficient on short range trips, no?

The Bro is second only to the CRJ-900s in terms of money makers for the company. We've been trying to add more to the fleet recently so I doubt they're going anywhere for a while.

In my opinion the future of the EMB-120 flying at SKW is dependent on the supply of new pilots for jet flying. If SKW is able to staff the jets I think the EMB has a future. If SKW is unable to attract enough replacement pilots I believe they will cannibalize the EMB-120 operation to staff the jets.

Yeah, from the looks of things alpa will talk xjt into self imploding "for the greater good of the industry"? I rode in a jumpseat with those guys a couple weeks ago and it was the worst flying experience of my life. They know it's coming. Hope they can keep the mess from affecting SKYW.
