I'm not talking about Expressjet Airlines Inc. I'm taking about Skywest Airlines Inc. Why would it say that on ASA aircraft and not XJT?

The 200s for UAX have AS registration numbers.
You don't have to take out the tin foil hat out just yet Nevets and Click Click Boom.

I just find it to be more than a coincidence or accident. That's not to say that there is anything nefarious about it.

It's incorrect...I paid just under $700 for my single occupancy during sims in ATL. I believe SLC is the same.

Also, it states they won't fly you from home to training. It must be from a domicile.

when I went through training it didn't have to be from a domicile, it had to be any route skywest flies ourselves. that may have changed.

Wouldn't be surprised if there is more consolidation in the regional industry to just get access to pilots.
