HUZZAH! After years of having to suffer from travel out of my home airport in CRJ 100s (aka the Barbie Dream Plane) and EMB 120's the dingleberries at Skywesst finaly reecognies that when “everyone is first class,” no one is! I have to travel with Skywest to my United and Delta hubs for years and I've enjoyed the 175s in both cabins into --other-- short jump destinations. Smart move and very long overdue. (They'll probably still continue to stick us with CRJ100 service though)
