Well, I sure did fly with a lot of former ASA folks that came over to SkyWest... As much as I’m sure you want your statement to be true, it’s definitely not.

I'm sure there are reasons why people from another air carrier might not want to go to SkyWest. I'm making the point that the pipeline for those not flying 121 but, thinking about SkyWest for their ATL base, is not that substantial either.

Despite the name "regional jet" routes like this are what the 175 is designed for. Longer routes for thin markets. It's also comfortable in the cabin, so it's popular with passengers for domestic. It's the 787 for the domestic market. I'd expect to see more of these routes.

Ahh very true. SW does have MKE-SFO though.

It'll probably go to mainline eventually, as a good handful of these routes do. After I've seen UA consistently fill a 737-900 from ORD-MKE, anything is possible.
