Krusty, you used to make a lot of sense but these days I just have to laugh at your posts. For one you cant even get the capital letters of Skywest right! (little w!)
Skywest was not losing money when it was bought, it was just running on the smell of an oily rag. It was certainly not equipped to go from 20 airframes to over 30 in the space of 18 months. That investment (anchor on Virgin as you call it) will enable the company to expand SAFELY.
Why would Virgin have been so interested in Skywest if the model and business wasnt making money? The ATRs basically print money.
Id be worried about Rex losing out on some routes if VARA heads south of Albury in a big way
