Skywest Inc to add E175 to fleet?
SkyWest's Management Discusses Q4 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript - Seeking Alpha

Okay. One more question. And sorry for the background noise. I am on my SkyWest flight about to take off. I apologize, but it appears that you don’t have a certificate for E-Jets, and there may be demand for E-Jets. How long would it take you to add that aircraft type to your certificate?

Very good question Tim. We know that that exists. We know that there seems to be not only demand, but obviously with what one major carrier has just done. There is definite interest in that type, we’re very well position in our discussions with manufactures and our people are very well prepared and preparing for that type. The timing involved could be between, I mean think to do it right, it’s somewhere between six and twelve months. And by the way that’s not discouraging to us, because we think that aligned very well not only with our delivery positions, but we have, when the next round of demand will be from the major carriers.

Okay. Thank you.

the 175 will be at a-tech tonight last I heard. They are cleaning the hangar and will be setting up a stage from what I understand.

I'm racing out to the airport in my mini-indy car to get a good look at the bird! It doesn't matter how I get there!
