Starting in May, SkyWest will operate flights for Alaska Airlines to replace Horizon flights on a few routes. (I don't know many details on aircraft or routes)

Can we remove the "request for verification box" in the history section?
a number of sources have been added, think the "This section needs additional citations for verification" can be removed for the history section?

i think it may need a more coherent re-write but most sentences now have sources? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Another user hawk (talk • contribs) 22:52, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't think so, there is still a paragraph that's uncited and also a citation needed tag or two. So the refimprove tag still should be there.  &mdash;Compdude123 (talk) 17:51, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Painfully obvious that SkyWest has become a "National" airline
For those who care enough to address it in the article, According to Business Dictionary, the definition of a "National Carrier" is any carrier whose revenue falls between $100MM and $1Billion annually (http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/national-carrier.html). Well according to their own profit and loss statement,(http://inc.skywest.com/invest/investor_releases/SKYW%20Earnings%202Q11v%202%20%282%29.pdf) as of August 2011 they generated just short of $1 Billion in one quarter alone. Further, I was just at an event where SkyWest brass spoke. They are touting themselves as a "National" carrier now. Don't mistake the equipment that they are using (Canadair Regional Jets) for the fact that their route structure spans the enitre lower 48, plus Alaska now. I could care less as to how it's presented in this article, if at all, but I figured it was worth mentioning. --XB70Valyrie (talk) 03:52, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

jacdec - misleading information
The methodology of the JACDEC so called "safety rating" is poor at best and media articles have been adjusted/withdrawn due to this. http://crankyflier.com/2013/01/29/a-terrible-way-to-rank-airline-safety/ http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/gallery?section=news/consumer&id=8967548&photo=1

Adding misleading information creates no value. If necessary any addition should reflect a balanced discussion.

Fleet edit by YSSYguy
Greetings, YSSYguy. Your last edit may have removed the entire Alaska CRJ700 line but it also moved columns meant for active fleet data over to the 'order' column. AirOpsExecnPlt (talk) 19:21, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Someone else has fixed it - children, this is a message from your uncle YSSYguy: don't edit tired. YSSYguy (talk) 23:22, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Delete Crew Bases?
Listing where the airline bases its crew doesn't add much. Do we need to say where they have avgas tanks, too? I'd recommend cutting. Any objections? GetSomeUtah (talk) 18:36, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

Mitsubishi Regional Jet
According to Mitsubishi Regional Jet page There are orders for 100 of the MRJ90, with 100 options. That should be added to this page. EdHayes3 (talk) 23:58, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

Why were the CRJ-200s removed from the American Eagle fleet?
Can anyone tell me why the CRJ-200s were removed from the American Eagle fleet? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clrichey (talk • contribs) 04:16, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

Business trend error
It has revenue before tax as 23 (2016) when the year before it was in the mid to high 100s then the following year in the mid 200s. I feel like 230 should be 230. Huskermax5 (talk) 08:24, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
