SkyWest to Transition Flying to IAH in 2011
New Crew Domiciles and Line Maintenance to be Opened
In their recent earnings call, United announced that they will begin new regional flying in Houston, Cleveland and Newark. This presents geographic opportunity for SkyWest’s route network, and we will reposition 20 of our CRJ700 aircraft to IAH in January and February 2011. The 20 aircraft will move from ORD, DEN and SFO for better utilization and efficiency throughout the system.
Details
We anticipate that ten aircraft will reposition to IAH in January, and another ten will move from existing hubs in February. We are working with United to evaluate additional transitions in March.
Maintenance and Crew Updates
· In conjunction with the new IAH routes, SkyWest will open a line maintenance base and crew domicile in Houston.
· Maintenance will immediately begin the recruitment process in preparation for the move.
· Crew bid schedules will be communicated by InFlight and Flight Operations leadership on Monday, Nov. 1.
MSP Domicile
We have maintained strong CRJ200 Delta Connection flying in Minneapolis, and we are pleased to open a new MSP crew domicile in February. Watch for crewmember details from your normal department communication channels.

Maintenance positions in IAH will be open Oct. 28 at SkyWest Online and www.skywest.com. Crewmembers will receive detailed crew bid information on Monday, Nov. 1. Additional information regarding the transition will be communicated through your normal department communication channels and via SkyWest Online.
