Not quite. Ticket and price is all handled by AAG (or who ever is the mainline marketing carrier). That is how the FFD works. The mainline carrier's own marketing department determines the schedules, tickets, equipment, and carrier to be flown.
Skywest may determine if a contract is profitable and to accept or reject it but the actual ticketing and market analysis is done by the carrier, for instance AA Marketing and Rev Management determines if they should put a 737 or E175 on a route.
ICT, MKE and YUL were all former envoy routes too.

Straight from the latest 10-K filing: The remainder of our passenger revenues during the year ended December 31, 2014 related to pro-rate flights for Delta, United or American, where we controlled scheduling, ticketing, pricing and seat inventories, and shared revenues with Delta, United or American according to pro-rate formulas.

Trust me when I tell you that every single flight SkyWest does as American Eagle in or out of ORD is completely pro-rate/at-risk flying and not FFD. And they are just four of the 50-some unique city pairs they do that with. The entire AirTran operation in MKE was the same exact thing. AirTran loved it. Zero risk for them and nothing but reward on a steady cut of the sales. They just hired a guy a few months ago whose entire job is to strengthen current and find further lucrative pro-rate markets to operate.
I'm guessing you're a yes voter too?
Are you SGU based?

I pretty sure he was referring to management shutting its own airline down, NOT the pilots going on a lawful strike like the Spirit pilots did not too long ago. Delta and American management can easily shut down their wholly owned regional carrier and shift the flying. That's the loss of leverage to the pilots. And hence why you see those pilot groups cave and none of the others doing the same.

Try again. More cussing next time will probably make your argument more believable

If Compass is struggling to staff with a massive top end attrition and 50% growth, I would be very concerned at regionals that have 50 seat aircraft that will need to get parked.

Not even close FNG, he pretty much nailed it.
Anyone who has spent more than 6 months on reserve at SKYW, will attest, sticking your head into a running self feed wood chipper is preferable to Skywest Reserve. The wood chipper will suck you in and the pain will only be for a moment, Skywest Reserve will chip pieces of your life away, that's why there are 4 year upgrades occurring. Someone hired 4 years ago probably didn't sit a whole lot of reserve and that's why they are willing to try reserve. Add SKYW parking 200s, senior guys upgrading and pushing you back, you will feel the full fury of Anita's SS minions as they scurry around trying to fix/hide their screw ups by using you as cannon fodder.
PHX 200s for AMR are done, BOI is going to blow up for Alaska, tons of 175s. Even with these changes, anyone junior who upgrades into the 175 will just get pushed back to eternal plug status as senior guys upgrade and transition to the upper part of the 175 list.

hey 404xldouchebag, are you finally not bashing endeavor's retention bonus for once? Wow, losing your edge it appears. Are you in the closet about being at Compost? Wish you were at another regional instead of worrying about getting to the majors? I bet at the interview you will start telling HR what their own business will be doing in 1 to 2 years. Nice going, blatherskite.
