I have heard a recruiter say at a job fair about a year ago that he wouldn't be surprised if SkyWest became the next major airline. He said that they were the most profitable regional, and the clear choice to be the next major. Not kidding....that was part of his pitch. He said that he expected that SkyWest would start branching out and doing their own flying soon.

I've heard that we were supposed to buy Midwest Airlines and turn that around (as a seperate company) while SkyWest provided feed. RR was "reassigned" because he let RAH slip in undetected.
We were doing it with Airtran, we've been doing a lot of at-risk flying with United and American. I think the company's skill set is being broadened to make this a possibility.
That being said, I'm sure that this plan is under glass. Not to be broken unless there's an emergency like a regional airline apocolypse or a primary major partner liquidates.
In other words: don't bank on it.
