Just hope next summer, with forecasted 91,000 plus block hours for jul/aug, we will be properly staffed.

Look at how many we lost this year (200ish) with very little mainline hiring.

What is the average age of Skywest's fleet(E120s, 200s, 700s, 900s)? Does Skywest own any of the aircraft they operate?

Age is irrelevant but we control 98% of our a/c (with exception to our AAG birds), in other words, we own the lease rights not Delta or United. Also DAL will have a big issue with our SLC contractual restrictions that aren't up until 2020.

Seems more likely if they're cancelling a class for transitions that an EMB base might be closing or more probable, a lot of folks are transitioning over from the Brazilia now that their seat locks are up.

A lot of people are starting to transition from the EMB... At least nine from FAT are transitioning in this last bid award, and a bunch from SLC too. They even released some of the January 2011 seat locks.

I heard it was all classes that were cancelled until further notice.

That would be pretty crappy if they started a class the day after Christmas.
