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.

The Skywest/Airtran flying in MKE was a money losing venture. Skywest actually shared in the ticket revenue (or lack there of). It was not "cost plus".

Are you sure? Delta has over 720 airplanes. It's scheduled to surpass 780 over the next several years.

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.

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...

P.S. Alaska owns the Horizon jets...
