The real fun part is you can't bump equipment in the same base if there's junior bases on your equipment.

Now that they've gotten rid of MOD a lot of the SFO routes are longer and could probably be served by RJs. The two really short ones left are SMF and MRY and those flights are oversold 90% of the time. They could probably fill a 200 pretty easy on those routes.

PSP was already struggling to have efficient pairings and with LAS-PSP gone, it will get harder. I see that place going away next. I guess SLC could be at risk. Who knows.

I wasn't aware that efficient pairings existed anywhere in the Skywest system... I have 6 legs both today and tomorrow, then 1-2 legs the last two days of the trip to make it a 19 hour 4 day. Sometimes I don't think they care much about pairing efficiency.

Are individual pairings at skywest only for one of the express partners, or could you fly united express one day and delta the next all under the same pairing? How about equipment type?

Wow when did Vegas disappear from the PSP pairings? It sounds like every Bro base is taking it in the shorts these days.

As you’re all aware, there are various factors affecting air service today. Among those factors, recent regulations have increased operating costs and placed additional pressure on underperforming markets. As a result, a number of our United Brasilia routes will be discontinued with the fall schedule reduction, including PDX-SEA, PDX-EUG, PDX-RDM, FAT-LAS and PSP-LAS. Additionally, RDM-SFO will transition to all CRJ200 service on Sept. 2. Unfortunately, these reductions will impact our PDX EMB domicile effective with the schedule change Sept. 2, 2014.

If you would like to upgrade to the jet and stay in PDX then Alaska 700s might have a home for you.
