SkyWest ERJ-195, B717, B737-600, A318?
I posted this above in "Majors" to get their opinion and wanted to post here too, it being relevent to "Regionals":
This is just a theoretical question. IF and I emphasise IF SkyWest were to branch out on it's own independant operation in the 130 seat and less aircraft catagorie size which airplane would be the best choice of those listed above and why? I was perusing some facts and figures and was surprized to see that the Airbus 318 will take off (standard conditions) in 2000 feet less runway than a CRJ-200. Thats pretty amazing. Both Boeing and Airbus make claims and counter claims that each of their aircraft operate at lower costs than their other manufacturers conterpart.
