Yes. If you go to the E175, current new hires are getting LAX right out of training. You will initially go on reserve until you can hold on a line. Some new hires are going to SFO and SEA, and this past summer some new hires went to DEN. If you wanted to go somewhere else and sit reserve there and then transfer into LAX, you could do that too.

ORD was the original E175 base at SkyWest. E175 bases are currently ORD, DEN, LAX, PDX, SFO, and SEA. ORD went junior at the beginning, but as the expansion out west happened, ORD went stagnant. ORD is currently the junior base for captains on the E175.

Certain other regionals were not able to fulfill their contractual takeover of the IAH flying, so the SKW folks get to stay for a while. SKW will reliably cover down until the bottom-feeders can get their act together.

It has nothing to do with Mesa it's all to do with the schedule for parking the 700's. Mesa has done just as well as we have on performance so until people stop attending class at the worst airline in the world the shrinkage will continue.

Anyone have any insight on the stock activity the last couple days? There was quite a jump yesterday, was that due to the announcement about the 200s?
