And Dallas...and La Guardia.... Soon to open bases from one corner of the United States to the other. It will be interesting to see how we manage to staff the 100 new airplanes slatted to arrive.

Default SKYW Bases/AC

Hoping to go to Skywest or Republic. I see a lot of speculation on bases opening and maybe some additional flying. I know it's hard to predict any regionals plans until it comes to fruition. So a few questions.

1) Is ATL opening? I also heard someone say Dallas and New York.

2) Will the CRJ or ERJ be out of those bases? Also is SAN only ERJ?

3) Which airlines would my family get benefits on?

4) Will Skywest do flying for Amazon?

Thanks

We have increased flying in both Atlanta and New York for August. Many rumors circulating right now about ATL and LGA, i.e. someone heard something from a reliable source (myself included). I think that it will happen. However, it will come at the cost of ExpressJet ceasing to exit. I expect an announcement next week after our earnings call.

2) Will the CRJ or ERJ be out of those bases? Also is SAN only ERJ?
Most likely a combination of both. Who knows.... SAN and BOI are only ERJ.

3) Which airlines would my family get benefits on?
That hinges upon your base, which aircraft type you fly and which airline is served by us out of those bases. For example's sake, ORD is both a CRJ and ERJ base. The ERJ pilots do not have Delta benefits since the ERJ only does United flying out of ORD.

4) Will Skywest do flying for Amazon?

Thanks
Uhhhh....

Amazon flying starts in October 2018 with initial fleet of 22 MRJs growing to 64 by June 2018. Bases include SEA, PDX, LAX, ORD, BOI, ONT and SLC to start. More details to follow.

Regional aircraft have almost no excess cargo capacity. They have barely enough cargo capacity to carry passenger baggage.

SKW operates no dedicated cargo aircraft.

Back to real talk... conference call just said OO getting 5 more AS E175's in 2018. When was that announced? Can't keep track of it all.. The best part was in the Q&A when someone asked about potential new flying/growth with our partners. He stumbled around his words and then said. "Stay tuned" ...

P.S.
One of the best bonuses in a while!! My math puts it just over 6% of your quarterly earnings..??. Someone with better math skils check..
(Financial bonus we get every quarter with the earnings call. We aslo get 2 pilot profit sharing bonuses a year on top of those 6 total a year... i know someone is going to ask..)
