Kool-Aid aside, I'll bet on SkyWest before any other airline. You guys are just haters. 5 years ago, they could have bought UAL. Instead they loaned them 80 million at 11% interest. When the RJs are gone, SkyWest Airlines will still exist and be profitable. That's the only thing in this industry you can count on.
I won't bet in any REGIONAL Airline. AA had 6 billions in the bank before going bankrupt. |

Your "understanding" about the 200s is incorrect. If you think SkyWest Inc will ever bid a contract below cost, you know nothing about SkyWest Inc.

Most of them were just abusing Captain Tony for being an insufferable koolaid drinker.
Hope you're senior enough to avoid furlough next year. |

I think you're wrong. SkyWest Inc owns the largest fleet of aircraft in the world at 710 aircraft, (UAL is #2 at 708), and almost a billion dollars cash in the bank. SkyWest Inc. will be calling the shots for the foreseeable future.

I had a friend just tell me this. He had no source other then he heard it from a friend. (So just a huge rumor to me right now)
He said that the Skyewest deal with AA to fly the 900's fell through last week and they are looking searching again for an operator. He also told me that the BK team at AA hired Menke as a consultant. Can anyone confirm any of this or have you guys heard about any of this? Sorry for the Wild rumor. |
SkyWest performs a significant portion of their flying as at risk and does so at a profit, according to their VP of Market Development.

Are you sure? Delta has over 720 airplanes. It's scheduled to surpass 780 over the next several years.
Many DCI jets are also owned by Delta and placed with DCI operators. I'm guessing some of the jets Tony is counting are owned by DAL but placed at SKW Inc. If you don't know why that matters, go ask a Comair pilot... Cheers George P.S. Alaska owns the Horizon jets... |
