What's Going On at SkyWest Inc

Because everyone want large tuboprops!! I.e. UA getting rid of them.... Horizon will be the last one standing with large q400's in the US...

If the idea is to, indeed, move toward non-branded, multi-code operations in smaller cities/short-hops/slightly-harder-to-get-to places, a large turboprop makes infinitely more sense than an E170 or CRJ7.

Have you seen the cost of the Q400?? More then a 175/900...the intent is to "get back into the RFP game". Not doinking around on a few small prorate citys...

Hmm...and UA just awarded 50 new 175's to Rjet to replace 31 Q-400's...
