SkyWest ATL domicile closing

[Erlanger]

2010 is going to be a bad year for bases at SkyWest. My guess 5 Brakillya domiciles and 2 CRJ domiciles gone by year end.

You can expect a new base announcement by Feb. 11 regarding MSP.

Do you still think MCO is coming in March?

It will be interesting to see where they find room for a crew space. Real estate is hard to come by in MSP. Does your "contract" have specific language as to what amenities have to be in your crew rooms?
