When they retire the E-175s to the "boneyard", they'll fly the crews home on the CRJ-200s. Haha!

The 200 is the most profitable airplane for OO right now. They will update them. From what I understand they've already started on the 700s.

Well that goes to show how little pilot pay has on profitability.

What is up with a SkyWest livery 700?
Wasn't that prohibited?

There's only one. And why would it be prohibited?

We do a TON of at risk flying with generic planes. Just like we did with Brasilias, but cool
