I still don't know that they'll last, though. This is a new arrangement, since SkyWest is operating them on a somewhat standalone basis, they might have to bail if not enough money is being made. It will likely be SkyWest's call whether to bail on any of these routes...FL will play a smaller role than in a typical regional airline relationship.
The fact that FL is protecting themselves a bit is smart. We will see, I wish them luck
