Krusty, although the ATRs are transitioning to mainline's AOC all the pilots are still employed under the new VARA EBA. What this means for the pilot body is unknown at this stage but hopefully it will be spared any redundancies.
As for Skywest's "collapse" it's worth noting the company made a net profit $7.5m in '09-10, $7.7m in '10-11 and $5.5m for '11-12, I'm not aware of any profit/loss figures for '12-13 prior to the Virgin buy out in April 2013. Are you privy to some very confidential information or just relying on rumours?
Apologies for the thread drift, best of luck to REX and I hope it works out well for their crew.
