I think the 737-700 has the single engine climb performance but it's too big due to size restrictions.

Also, the IAH-QRO and IAH-BJX routes still showed SkyWest until the last minute, and we knew Mesa was taking over those routes.

Oh, is that why when I go into PBS now (before bidding opens) and click Prioritize Layers it will show all layers at 72% or so...meaning the remaining 28% of trips (in my base and seat) will be standups?

My money is still on the FAA denying blowjet. The FAA knows they never should have certified Skywest or envoy so they just turn a blind eye in my opinion. You still have provided zero proof
