I was just going to say the same thing. Too bad the company is such a basket case.

The 135 looks great in the scheme, we began flying Miidwest Connect yesterday, and I am the SOC Coordinator for that division here, and it went very smoothly for a basket case company

Looks pretty sharp and its wearing the right banner name. I thought the kitty was getting rid of the 135 though all together. No?

The CRJ's that Skywest flies now hardly break even on alot of the city pairs they fly, so we bought some Xjet 135's that were in storage and bringing them online, and you have a greater profit margin now with a lower load factor

How is it a greater profit margin with a smaller plane. Are crews on the 135 not on the 145 pay scale in the contract? I would have imagined that depending on the way you guys are paid at Republic (which I am not sure of) whether it is per departure or not a smaller jet would actually ratchet the costs up verses a 50 seater. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong or missing somthing.

I agree with Matt. That scheme seems like it could be worn nicely on just about any small or medium sized airliner. Can't wait to see it in person.
