But in all seriousness, SkyWest did not put in a bid for KCEC. Only Great Lakes and Boutique did.
SkyWest did put in bids for Decatur, IL; North Platte, NE; Kearney, NE; Liberal, KS; and Scottsbluff, NE.

You haven't lived till you've stayed at the Anchor Beach Inn. Hasn't been updated since 1975. Borders on a really rough trailer park which seems to be a halfway house for guys just out of Pelican Bay State prison just up the road...

Right on. Following the EV / 9E shuffle, there are another 15 RJs in the 70 seater catgeory up for grabs with DL.
The other one to watch will be G7. I believe their DL contract is up soon and they claim 22 700's and 7 900's in their DL fleet.
That makes for a total of 44 additional airframes that I am sure are being shopped around between OO, E9 and YX. depending on the certificate they will be 900 lights or 175CS.

And yes, the G7 700 are owned by DL. The point is that the CPA is coming up. So, they can either move those 700 to another regional like 9E or OO - or depending on how many cycles the 700 have, they may decide to sell them to a Chinese operator and sign some new 175CS with OO or YX.
Customer preference is clearly with the 175. Unless you get 900 for free I don't see why anyone would buy new 900s anymor

I'm honestly curious how OO can make money on these routes with jets when KS couldn't with props.
