<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Through SkyWest Airlines and ASA, our wholly-owned subsidiaries, we offer scheduled passenger service with approximately 2,300 daily
departures to 218 destinations in the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean. Substantially all of our flights are operated as either Delta Connection, United Express or Midwest Connect
flights under code-share arrangements with Delta, United or Midwest, respectively, with significant presence in their key domestic hubs and focus cities. SkyWest Airlines and ASA generally
provide regional flying to our partners under long-term, fixed-fee code-share agreements. Among other features of our fixed-fee agreements, our partners
generally reimburse us for specified direct operating expenses (including fuel expense, which is passed through to our partners), and pay us a fee for operating the aircraft. </FONT></P>

Airlines and ASA have developed industry-leading reputations for providing quality, low-cost regional airline service during their long operating
histories&#151;SkyWest Airlines has been flying since 1972 and ASA since 1979. As of December, 31, 2008, our consolidated fleet consisted of a total of 442 aircraft, of which 258 were assigned
with Delta (12 Avions de Transport 72-210 turboprop aircraft were no longer in revenue service and ASA expects to return the aircraft to the lessor by February&nbsp;28, 2009), 163 were
assigned with United, 12 were assigned with Midwest and nine were used by SkyWest Airlines as additional maintenance spare aircraft. We currently operate one type of regional jet aircraft in three
different configurations, the 50-seat Bombardier Aerospace ("Bombardier") CRJ200 Regional Jet (the "CRJ200"), the 70-seat Bombardier CRJ700 Regional Jet (the "CRJ700") and the
70-90-seat Bombardier CRJ900 Regional Jet (the
"CRJ900"), and one type of turboprop aircraft, the 30-seat Embraer Brasilia EMB-120 turboprop (the "Brasilia turboprop"). We also lease 12 66-seat Avions de
Transport 72-210 turboprop aircraft (the "ATR-72 turboprop"), which are no longer in revenue service and are scheduled for return to the lessor by February&nbsp;28, 2009. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SkyWest
Airlines currently conducts its Delta Connection operations pursuant to the terms of an Amended and Restated Delta Connection Agreement which obligates Delta to compensate
SkyWest Airlines for its direct costs associated with operating Delta Connection flights, plus a payment based on
block hours flown (the "SkyWest Airlines Delta Connection Agreement"). In addition, the SkyWest Airlines Delta Connection Agreement provides for us to increase our profitability if we reduce our total
costs. SkyWest Airlines' United code-share operations are conducted under a United Express Agreement pursuant to which SkyWest Airlines is paid primarily on a
fee-per-completed block hour and departure basis plus a margin based on performance incentives (the "United Express Agreement"). Under the United Express Agreement, excess
margins over certain percentages must be returned or shared with United, depending on various conditions. SkyWest Airlines and Midwest are parties to an Airlines Services Agreement entered into on
December&nbsp;20, 2006 (the "Midwest Services Agreement"). In June 2008, SkyWest Airlines was notified that Midwest was in the process of organizing a financial restructuring. SkyWest Airlines
subsequently agreed to reduce the number of aircraft operating under the Midwest Services Agreement from 21 aircraft to 12 aircraft. SkyWest Airlines also agreed to defer a portion of Midwest's weekly
payment obligations for the period from July&nbsp;1, 2008 through November&nbsp;30, 2008. The amount SkyWest Airlines agreed to defer, plus certain amounts Midwest owed to SkyWest Airlines at
June&nbsp;30, 2008, will be payable, with interest, by Midwest in four equal quarterly payments starting on August&nbsp;31, 2009. In exchange for SkyWest Airlines' obligation to provide the
designated number of flights and perform other obligations under the Midwest Services Agreement, Midwest has agreed to pay SkyWest Airlines on a weekly basis a fixed fee per completed block hour, a
fixed fee per completed departure, a fixed fee for overhead, and a reimbursement of certain direct costs when a new aircraft is delivered. The Midwest Services Agreement provides for incentives or
penalties based upon SkyWest Airlines' performance, including on-time arrival performance and completion percentage rates. Additionally, Midwest has agreed to reimburse or pay directly
certain of SkyWest Airlines' operating costs, including costs related to fuel, landing fees, and catering. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ASA provides regional jet service primarily in the United States primarily from hubs located in Atlanta and Cincinnati. ASA offered
more than 775 daily scheduled departures as of December&nbsp;31, 2008, all of which were Delta Connection flights. ASA's fleet as of December&nbsp;31, 2008, all of which were flown for Delta,
consisted of 39 CRJ700s, 110 CRJ200s, and 12 ATR-72 turboprops (these aircraft were no longer in revenue service and ASA expects to return the aircraft to the lessor by February&nbsp;28,
2009). Under the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Delta Connection Agreement executed by ASA and Delta (the "ASA Delta Connection Agreement"), Delta has agreed to compensate ASA for its direct
costs associated with operating Delta Connection flights, plus, if ASA completes a certain minimum percentage of its Delta Connection flights, a specified margin on such costs. Additionally, the ASA
Delta Connection Agreement provides for incentive compensation upon satisfaction of certain performance goals. Under the ASA Delta Connection Agreement, excess margins over certain percentages must be
returned to or shared with Delta, depending on various conditions. </FONT></P>

airlines' labor contracts with their pilots that place restrictions on the number and size of aircraft, or the amount of flight activity, that can be operated by major airlines' regional airline
contractors such as ASA and SkyWest Airlines. Greater liberalization of scope clauses generally creates more business opportunities for regional airlines. Since 2001, five major domestic airlines

recent growth of the regional airline industry resulted from the replacement of major airline-operated narrowbody jet aircraft (such as 737s, DC9s, MD80s and A319s) with regional airline-operated jets
on the same routes. Major carriers have replaced narrowbody aircraft in an effort to achieve advantages in trip costs, unit costs, frequency or a combination of these benefits. At present, the fleets
of the six major domestic airlines include a significant number of narrowbody aircraft that are more than 15&nbsp;years old. Such older aircraft are frequently less fuel and maintenance efficient
than newer regional jet aircraft. If major airlines substitute newer regional jet equipment for any portion of these older narrowbody aircraft upon their retirement, we believe incremental growth
opportunities will be created for regional airlines.  </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Competition and Economic Conditions  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The airline industry is highly competitive. SkyWest Airlines and ASA compete principally with other code-sharing regional
airlines, but also with regional airlines operating without code-share agreements, as well as low-cost carriers and major airlines. The combined operations of SkyWest Airlines
and ASA extend throughout most major geographic markets in the United States. Our competition includes, therefore, nearly every other domestic regional airline, and to a certain extent, most major and
low-cost domestic carriers. The primary competitors of SkyWest Airlines and ASA among regional airlines with code-share arrangements include Air Wisconsin Airlines Corporation,
American Eagle Airlines,&nbsp;Inc. ("American Eagle") (owned by American), Comair,&nbsp;Inc. ("Comair") (owned by Delta), Compass Airlines ("Compass") (owned by Delta), Mesaba Airlines ("Mesaba")
(owned by Delta), ExpressJet Holdings,&nbsp;Inc. ("ExpressJet"), Horizon Air Industries,&nbsp;Inc. ("Horizon") (owned by Alaska Air Group,&nbsp;Inc.), Mesa Air Group,&nbsp;Inc. ("Mesa"),
Pinnacle Airlines Corp. ("Pinnacle"), Republic Airways Holdings&nbsp;Inc. ("Republic") and Trans State Airlines,&nbsp;Inc. Major airlines award contract flying to these regional airlines based
upon, but not limited to, the following criteria: low cost, financial resources, overall customer service levels relating to on-time arrival and departure statistics, cancellation of
flights, baggage handling performance and the overall image of the regional airline as a whole. The principal competitive factors we experience with respect to our pro-rate flying include
fare pricing, customer service, routes served, flight schedules, aircraft types and relationships with major partners. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The principal competitive factors for code-share partner regional airlines are code-share agreement terms, customer service, aircraft
types, fare pricing, flight schedules and markets and routes served. The combined operations of SkyWest Airlines and ASA represent the largest regional airline operation in the United States. However,
some of the major and low-cost carriers are larger, and may have greater financial and other resources than SkyWest Airlines and ASA. Additionally, regional carriers owned by major
airlines, such as American Eagle, Comair, Compass and Mesaba, may have access to greater resources at the parent level than SkyWest Airlines and ASA, and may have enhanced competitive advantages since
they are subsidiaries of major airlines. Moreover, federal deregulation of the industry allows competitors to rapidly enter our markets and to quickly discount and restructure fares. The airline
industry is particularly susceptible to price discounting because airlines incur only nominal costs to provide service to passengers occupying otherwise unsold seats. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Generally,
the airline industry is highly sensitive to general economic conditions, in large part due to the discretionary nature of a substantial percentage of both business and leisure
travel. Many airlines have historically reported lower earnings or substantial losses during periods of economic recession, heavy fare discounting, high fuel costs and other disadvantageous
environments. Economic downturns combined with competitive pressures have contributed to a number of reorganizations, bankruptcies, liquidations and business combinations among major and regional
carriers. The effect of economic downturns may be somewhat mitigated by the predominantly contract-based flying arrangements of SkyWest Airlines and ASA. Nevertheless, the per passenger component in
such fee structure would be affected by an economic downturn. In addition, if Delta, United or Midwest, or one or more other code-share partners we may secure in the future, experience a
prolonged decline in passenger load or are harmed by low ticket prices or high fuel prices, they will likely seek to
renegotiate their code-share agreements with SkyWest Airlines and ASA or cancel flights in order to reduce their costs. </FONT></P>

<UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Majors, Low Cost Carriers and Regional Airlines  </I></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The airline industry in the United States has traditionally been dominated by several major airlines, including American, Continental
Airlines,&nbsp;Inc. ("Continental"), Delta, US Airways and United. The major airlines offer scheduled flights to most major U.S. cities, numerous smaller U.S. cities, and cities throughout the world
through a hub and spoke network. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Low
cost carriers, such as Southwest Airlines&nbsp;Co. ("Southwest"), JetBlue Airways Corporation ("JetBlue"), Frontier Airlines,&nbsp;Inc. ("Frontier") and AirTran
Airways,&nbsp;Inc. ("AirTran"), generally offer fewer conveniences to travelers and have lower cost structures than major airlines, which permits them to offer flights to and from many of the same
markets as the major airlines, but at lower prices. Low cost carriers typically fly direct flights with limited service to smaller cities, concentrating on higher demand flights to and from major
population bases. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Regional
airlines, such as ASA, ExpressJet, Mesa, Pinnacle, Republic and SkyWest Airlines, typically operate smaller aircraft on lower-volume routes than major and low cost carriers.
Several regional airlines, including American Eagle, Comair, Compass, Mesaba and Horizon, are wholly-owned subsidiaries of major airlines. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
contrast to low cost carriers, regional airlines generally do not try to establish an independent route system to compete with the major airlines. Rather, regional airlines typically
enter into relationships with one or more major airlines, pursuant to which the regional airline agrees to use its smaller, lower-cost aircraft to carry passengers booked and ticketed by
the major airline between a hub of the major airline and a smaller outlying city. In exchange for such services, the major airline pays the regional airline either a fixed flight fee, termed
"contract" or "fixed-fee" flights, or receives a percentage of applicable ticket revenues, termed "pro-rate" or "revenue-sharing" flights. </FONT></P>

smaller size. We believe the increased use of regional jets has led, and may continue to lead, to greater public acceptance of regional airlines. </FONT></DD></DL>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Regional airlines generally enter into code-share agreements with major airlines, pursuant to which the regional airline is
authorized to use the major airline's two-letter flight designator codes to identify the regional airline's flights and fares in the central reservation systems, to paint its aircraft with
the colors and/or logos of its code-share partner and to market and advertise its status as a carrier for the code-share partner. For example, SkyWest Airlines flies out of
Chicago (O'Hare), Denver, Los Angeles and San Francisco as United Express and out of Salt Lake City as Delta Connection and Milwaukee as Midwest Connect. ASA operates as Delta Connection out of
Atlanta and Cincinnati. In addition, the major airline generally provides services such as reservations, ticketing, ground support and gate access to the regional airline, and both partners often
coordinate marketing, advertising and other promotional efforts. In exchange, the regional airline provides a designated number of low-capacity (usually between 30 and 70 seats) flights
between larger airports served by the major airline and surrounding cities, usually in lower-volume markets. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The

changes in the price of fuel and other such costs that are passed through to the major airline partner. Regional airlines benefit from a fixed-fee arrangement because they are sheltered
from most of the elements that cause volatility in airline earnings, including variations in ticket prices, passenger loads and fuel prices. However, regional airlines in fixed-fee

operate 12 CRJ700s, previously operated by Comair. This Delta Connection Agreement is ancillary to, and satisfied certain obligations of Delta under the ASA Delta Connection Agreement. We have the
right to designate either SkyWest Airlines or ASA to operate the 12 aircraft to provide service, primarily to and from Delta's Cincinnati hub through February 2012 (subject to Delta's right to extend
the arrangement for up to three additional three-year terms). Under the arrangement, Delta has agreed to pay ASA or SkyWest Airlines, as applicable, a fixed-fee per completed
block hour, a fixed-fee per completed departure, a fixed-fee for overhead, a one-time start-up payment for each aircraft delivered and incentive
payments based upon performance, including on-time arrival performance and completion percentage rates. Additionally, Delta has agreed to reimburse SkyWest Airlines or ASA, as applicable,
for certain operating costs under this Delta Connection Agreement. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> SkyWest Airlines United Express Agreement  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SkyWest Airlines and United are parties to the United Express Agreement entered into on July&nbsp;31, 2003. As of December&nbsp;31,
2008, SkyWest Airlines operated 52 CRJ700s, 67 CRJ200s and 44 Brasilia turboprops under the United Express Agreement, flying a total of approximately 990 United Express flights per day between Chicago
(O'Hare), Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland and Seattle/Tacoma and designated outlying destinations. Generally, under the United Express Agreement, United retains all air fares, cargo
rates, mail charges and other revenues associated with each flight. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
exchange for providing the designated number of flights and performing SkyWest Airlines' obligations under the United Express Agreement, SkyWest Airlines receives from United
compensation (subject to an annual adjustment) of a fixed-fee per completed block hour, a fixed-fee per completed departure, a fixed-fee per passenger, a
fixed-fee for overhead and aircraft costs, and a one-time start-up payment for each aircraft delivered. The United Express Agreement provides for incentives based
upon SkyWest Airlines' performance, including on-time arrival performance and completion percentage rates. Additionally, certain of SkyWest Airlines' operating costs are reimbursed by
United, including costs related to fuel and aircraft ownership. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, 20 of the 44 Brasilia turboprops were operated under a revenue-sharing arrangement. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SkyWest Airlines and Midwest are parties to the Midwest Services Agreement entered into on December&nbsp;20, 2006. In June 2008,
SkyWest Airlines was notified that Midwest was in the process of organizing a financial restructuring. SkyWest Airlines subsequently agreed to reduce the number of aircraft operating under the Midwest
Services Agreement from 21 aircraft to 12 aircraft. SkyWest Airlines also agreed to defer a portion of Midwest's weekly payment obligations from July&nbsp;1, 2008 through November&nbsp;30, 2008.
The amount SkyWest Airlines agreed to defer, plus certain amounts Midwest owed to us at June&nbsp;30, 2008, will be payable, with interest by Midwest in four equal quarterly payments starting on
August&nbsp;31, 2009. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, SkyWest Airlines flew approximately 80 Midwest Connect flights per day between Milwaukee and designated outlying destinations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
exchange for providing the designated number of flights and performing SkyWest Airlines' other obligations under the Midwest Services Agreement, Midwest has agreed to pay SkyWest
Airlines on a weekly basis a fixed fee per completed block hour, a fixed fee per completed departure, a fixed fee for overhead, and a reimbursement of certain direct costs when a new aircraft is

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Fuel  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Historically, we have not experienced problems with the availability of fuel, and believe we will be able to obtain fuel in quantities
sufficient to meet our existing and anticipated future requirements at competitive prices. Standard industry contracts generally do not provide protection against fuel price increases, nor do they
ensure availability of supply. However, our code-share agreements with Delta, United and Midwest provide for fuel used in the performance of the code-share agreements to be
reimbursed by our major partners, thereby reducing our exposure to fuel price fluctuations. During the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, approximately 97.1% of our fuel purchases were associated
with our Delta, United and Midwest code-share agreements and were reimbursed by our major partners. A substantial increase in the price of jet fuel, to the extent our fuel costs are not
reimbursed, or the lack of adequate fuel supplies in the future, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Employees  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, SkyWest and SkyWest Airlines collectively employed 8,987 full-time equivalent employees
consisting of 4,229 pilots and flight attendants, 3,201customer service personnel, 1,079 mechanics and other maintenance personnel, and 478 administration and support personnel. None of these
employees are currently represented by a union. We are aware, however, that collective bargaining group organization efforts among SkyWest Airlines' employees occur from time to time and we anticipate
that such efforts will continue in the future. If unionization efforts are successful, we may be subjected to risks of work interruption or stoppage and/or incur additional expenses associated with
increased union representation of our employees. SkyWest Airlines has never experienced a work stoppage due to a strike or other labor dispute, and we consider SkyWest Airlines' relationships with its
employees to be good. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
of December&nbsp;31, 2008, ASA employed approximately 4,348 full-time equivalent employees consisting of 2,502 pilots and flight attendants, 703 customer service
personnel, 884 mechanics and other maintenance personnel, and 259 administration and support personnel. Three of ASA's employee groups are represented by unions. ASA's pilots are represented by the
Air Line Pilots Association International, ASA's flight attendants are represented by the Association of Flight Attendants&#151;CNA, and ASA's flight controllers are represented by the
Professional Airline Flight Control Association. ASA's collective bargaining agreement with its pilots will become amendable on November&nbsp;20, 2010. ASA's collective bargaining agreement with its
flight attendants will become amendable in 2011. The collective bargaining agreement between ASA and its flight controllers became amendable in April 2006, and ASA is currently engaged in negotiations
with its flight controllers. ASA has never experienced a work stoppage due to a strike or other labor dispute, and considers its relationships with employees to be good. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All interstate air carriers, including SkyWest Airlines and ASA, are subject to regulation by the U.S. Department of Transportation
(the "DOT"), the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (the "FAA") and other governmental agencies. Regulations promulgated by the DOT primarily relate to economic aspects of air service. The FAA
requires operating, air worthiness and other certificates; approval of personnel who may engage in flight, maintenance or operating activities; record-keeping procedures in accordance with FAA
requirements; and FAA approval of flight training and retraining programs. Generally, governmental agencies enforce their regulations through, among other ways, certifications, which are necessary for
the continued operations of SkyWest Airlines and ASA, and proceedings, which can result in civil or criminal penalties or revocation of operating authority. The FAA can also issue maintenance
directives and other mandatory orders relating to, among other things, </FONT></P>

believe SkyWest Airlines and ASA are operating in compliance with FAA regulations and hold all operating and airworthiness certificates and licenses which are necessary to conduct
their respective operations. We incur substantial costs in maintaining current certifications and otherwise complying with the laws, rules and regulations to which SkyWest Airlines and ASA are
subject. SkyWest Airlines' and ASA's flight operations, maintenance programs, record keeping and training programs are conducted under FAA approved procedures. SkyWest Airlines and ASA do not
currently operate at any airports where landing slots are restricted. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All
air carriers are required to comply with federal laws and regulations pertaining to noise abatement and engine emissions. All air carriers are also subject to certain provisions of
the Federal Communications Act of 1934, as amended, because of their extensive use of radio and other communication facilities. SkyWest Airlines and ASA are also subject to certain other federal and
state laws relating to protection of the environment, labor relations and equal employment opportunity. We believe SkyWest Airlines and ASA are in compliance in all material respects with these laws
and regulations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SkyWest, SkyWest Airlines and ASA are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to
environmental protection matters. These laws and regulations govern such matters as environmental reporting, storage and disposal of materials and chemicals and aircraft noise. We are, and expect in
the future to be, involved in various environmental matters and conditions at, or related to, our properties. We are not currently subject to any environmental cleanup orders or actions imposed by
regulatory authorities. We are not aware of any active material environmental investigations related to our assets or properties. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Safety and Security  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are committed to the safety and security of our passengers and employees. Since the September&nbsp;11, 2001 terrorist attacks,
SkyWest Airlines and ASA have taken many steps, both voluntarily and as mandated by governmental agencies, to increase the safety and security of their operations. Some of the safety and security
measures we have taken with our code-share partners, include: aircraft security and surveillance, positive bag matching procedures, enhanced passenger and baggage screening and search
procedures, and securing of cockpit doors. We are committed to complying with future safety and security requirements. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Insurance  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SkyWest Airlines and ASA maintain insurance policies we believe are of types customary in the industry and in amounts we believe are
adequate to protect against material loss. These policies principally provide coverage for public liability, passenger liability, baggage and cargo liability, property damage, including coverages for
loss or damage to our flight equipment, and workers' compensation insurance. We cannot assure, however, that the amount of insurance we carry will be sufficient to protect us from material loss. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of those for the entire year, since the airline
industry is subject to seasonal fluctuations and general economic conditions. Our operations are somewhat favorably affected by increased travel on our pro-rate routes, historically
occurring in the summer months, and are unfavorably affected by decreased business travel </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If any of our code-share agreements are terminated, we would be significantly impacted and likely would not have an
immediate source of revenue or earnings to offset such loss. A termination of any of these agreements would likely have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition, operating revenues and net income unless we are able to enter into satisfactory substitute arrangements for the utilization of the affected aircraft by other
code-share partners, or, alternatively, obtain the airport facilities and gates and make the other arrangements necessary to fly as an independent airline. We may not be able to enter into
substitute code-share arrangements, and any such arrangements we might secure may not be as favorable to us as our current agreements. Operating our airline independent from major partners
would be a significant departure from our business plan, would likely be very difficult and may require significant time and resources, which may not be available to us at that point. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
current terms of the SkyWest, SkyWest Airlines and ASA Delta Connection Agreements are subject to certain early termination provisions. Delta's termination rights include
cross-termination rights (meaning that a breach by SkyWest Airlines or ASA of its Delta Connection Agreement could, under certain circumstances, permit Delta to terminate any or all of the Delta
Connection Agreements), the right to terminate each of the agreements upon the occurrence of certain force majeure events (including certain labor-related events) that prevent SkyWest Airlines or ASA
from performance for certain periods and the right to terminate each of the agreements if SkyWest Airlines or ASA, as applicable, fails to maintain competitive base rate costs, subject to certain
rights of SkyWest Airlines to take corrective action to reimburse Delta for lost revenues. The current term of the SkyWest Airlines' United Express Agreement is subject to certain early termination
provisions and subsequent renewals. United may terminate the United Express Agreement due to an uncured breach by SkyWest Airlines of certain operational and performance provisions, including measures
and standards related to flight completions, baggage handling and on-time arrivals. The current term of the SkyWest Airlines' Midwest Services Agreement is subject to certain early
termination provisions and subsequent renewals. Midwest may terminate the Midwest Services Agreement due to an uncured breach by SkyWest Airlines of certain operational and performance provisions,
including measures and standards related to customer complaints factor, the care check factor or the customer experience pulse factor. </FONT></P>

currently use Delta's, United's and Midwest's systems, facilities and services to support a significant portion of our operations, including airport and terminal facilities and

operations or no longer provide these services to us, due to termination of one of our code-share agreements, a strike or other labor interruption by Delta, United or Midwest personnel or

Since our revenues and operating profits are dependent on our level of flight operations, we could then be forced to significantly reduce our operations. Furthermore, upon certain terminations of

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 approximately 96.6% of our ASMs&nbsp;were attributable to our code-share
agreements with Delta and United. Both Delta and United have incurred significant losses in recent years, which materially weakened their financial condition. Because of their weakened financial
condition, there is no assurance that either United or Delta will ultimately succeed or will remain a going concern over the long term. Volatility in fuel prices may negatively impact both Delta's and
United's results of operations and financial condition. Among other risks, Delta and United are vulnerable both to unexpected events (such as additional terrorist attacks or additional spikes in jet
fuel prices) and to deterioration of the operating environment (such as a recession or significant increased competition). There is no assurance that Delta or United will be able to operate
successfully under these financial conditions. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
light of the importance of our code-share agreements with Delta and United to our business, the termination of these agreements could jeopardize our operations. Such
events could leave us unable to operate much of our current aircraft fleet and the additional aircraft we are obligated to purchase, which would likely result, in a material adverse effect on our
operations and financial condition. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
financial condition of Delta and United will continue to pose risks for our operations. Serial bankruptcies are not unprecedented in the commercial airline industry, and Delta and/or
United could file for bankruptcy again, in which case our code-share agreements could be subject to termination under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Regardless of whether subsequent bankruptcy
filings prove to be necessary, Delta and United have required, and will likely continue to require, our participation in efforts to reduce costs and improve their respective financial positions. These
efforts could result in lower utilization rates of our aircraft, lower departure rates on the contract flying portion of our business, more volatile operating margins and more aggressive contractual
positions, which could result in additional litigation. We believe that any of these developments could have a negative effect on many aspects of our operations and financial performance. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> We may be negatively impacted by the troubled financial condition and restructuring of Midwest  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In June 2008, we were notified that Midwest was in the process of organizing an out-of-court financial
restructuring. In the event of a Midwest bankruptcy filing, Midwest may reject the Midwest Services Agreement in the bankruptcy proceedings. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, we operated 12 CRJ200s
pursuant to the Midwest Services Agreement. For the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 approximately 3.4% of our ASMs&nbsp;were generated under the Midwest Services Agreement. Midwest is currently
working on a restructuring plan; and we have agreed to modify the payment terms of the Midwest Services Agreement, primarily to defer certain amounts payable to us by Midwest. There is no assurance
that Midwest will ultimately succeed in its reorganization efforts or will remain a going concern over the long term. In the event of a Midwest bankruptcy filing or in the event of a
re-negotiated contract in an out-of-court financial restructuring arrangement, we have the residual aircraft ownership risk. If, under such circumstances, we are
unable to develop alternative uses for the aircraft we are currently flying for Midwest, such events would adversely affect our financial results. </FONT></P>

the ASA Delta Connection Agreement, a pre-determined rate of return based upon the actual cost we incur). With respect to other costs, our code-share partner is obligated to
pay to us amounts based, in part, on pre-determined rates for certain costs. During the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, approximately 55% of our costs were pass-through
costs and approximately 45% of our costs were reimbursable at pre-determined rates. These pre-determined rates may not be based on the actual expenses we incur in delivering

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During the quarter ended December&nbsp;31, 2007, Delta notified SkyWest, SkyWest Airlines and ASA of a dispute under the SkyWest
Airlines and ASA Delta Connection Agreements. The dispute relates to allocation of liability for certain irregular operations ("IROP") expenses that are paid by SkyWest Airlines and ASA to Delta
Connection passengers under certain situations. As a result of the dispute, Delta withheld a combined total of approximately $25&nbsp;million (pretax) from one of the weekly scheduled wire payments
to SkyWest and ASA during December 2007. Delta continues to withhold a portion of the funds we believe are payable as weekly scheduled wire payments to SkyWest and ASA. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008,
we had recognized a cumulative total of $32.4&nbsp;million of revenue associated with funds withheld by Delta. On February&nbsp;1, 2008, SkyWest Airlines and ASA filed a lawsuit in Georgia state
court disputing Delta's treatment of the matter. The position Delta has taken with respect to IROP expenses is inconsistent with the parties' treatment of those expenses under the SkyWest Airlines and
ASA Delta Connection Agreements since their execution in September 2005. We have not recorded an allowance related to the dispute in our consolidated financial statements. There can be no assurance
that the dispute will be resolved consistent with the position taken by SkyWest Airlines and ASA. If the dispute is not resolved consistent with the position taken by SkyWest Airlines and ASA our
financial results would be negatively impacted. The litigation may have other negative effects on our relationship with Delta and our operations under the existing Delta Connection Agreements. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> We have a significant amount of contractual obligations.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, we had a total of approximately $1.8&nbsp;billion in total long-term debt obligations.
Substantially all of this long-term debt was incurred in connection with the acquisition of aircraft, engines and related spare parts. We also have significant long-term lease
obligations primarily relating to our aircraft fleet. These leases are classified as operating leases and therefore are not reflected as liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. At
December&nbsp;31, 2008, we had 287 aircraft under lease, with remaining terms ranging from one to 17&nbsp;years. Future minimum lease payments due under all long-term operating leases
were approximately $3.0&nbsp;billion at December&nbsp;31, 2008. At a 7.39% discount factor, the present value of these lease obligations was equal to approximately $2.0&nbsp;billion at
December&nbsp;31, 2008. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, we had commitments of approximately $459.7&nbsp;million to purchase one CRJ900s and 18 CRJ700s. We expect to complete these deliveries by
the first quarter of 2010. On January&nbsp;9, 2009, we announced that ASA has reached an agreement with Delta to operate an additional 10 CRJ900 regional jet aircraft. The aircraft were previously
ordered by Delta and are now being contracted for flying with ASA. ASA expects to take delivery of these aircraft between February </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our selection of Bombardier Regional Jets as the primary aircraft for our existing operations and projected growth involves risks,
including the possibility that there may be an oversupply of regional jets available for sale in the foreseeable future, due, in part, to the financial difficulties of regional and major airlines,
including Delta, United, Comair, Mesa and ExpressJet. A large supply of regional jets may allow other carriers, or even new carriers, to acquire aircraft for unusually low acquisition costs, allowing
them to compete more effectively in the industry, which may ultimately harm our operations and financial performance. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
regional jet strategy also presents the risk that passengers may find the Bombardier Regional Jets to be less attractive than other aircraft, including other regional jets. Recently,
several other models of regional jets have been introduced by manufacturers other than Bombardier. If passengers develop a preference for other regional jet models, our results of operation and
financial condition could be negatively impacted. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> We may be limited from expanding our flying within the Delta and United flight systems, and there are constraints on our ability to provide airline services to airlines
other than Delta and United.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Additional growth opportunities within the Delta and United flight systems are limited by various factors. Except as currently
contemplated by our existing code-share agreements, we cannot assure that Delta or United will contract with us to fly any additional aircraft. We may not receive additional growth
opportunities, or may agree to modifications to our code-share agreements that reduce certain benefits to us in order to obtain additional aircraft, or for other reasons. Furthermore, the
troubled financial condition, bankruptcies and restructurings of Delta and United may reduce the growth of regional flying within their flight systems. Given the troubled nature of the airline
industry, we believe that some of our competitors may be more inclined to accept reduced margins and less favorable contract terms in order to secure new or additional code-share
operations. Even if we are offered growth opportunities by our major partners, those opportunities may involve economic terms or financing commitments that are unacceptable to us. Any one or more of
these factors may reduce or eliminate our ability to expand our flight operations with our existing code-share partners. Additionally, even if Delta and/or United choose to expand our
fleet on terms acceptable to us, they may be allowed at any time to subsequently reduce the number of aircraft covered by our code-share agreements. We also cannot assure you that we will
be able to obtain the additional ground and maintenance facilities, including gates, and support equipment, to expand our operations. The failure to obtain these facilities and equipment would likely
impede our efforts to implement our business strategy and could materially adversely affect our operating results and our financial condition. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Delta,
United and/or Midwest may be restricted in increasing their business with us, due to "scope" clauses in the current collective bargaining agreements with their pilots that
restrict the number and size of regional jets that may be operated in their flight systems not flown by their pilots. Delta's scope limitations restrict its partners from operating aircraft with over
76 seats, even if those aircraft are operated for an airline other than Delta. We cannot assure that these scope clauses will not become more restrictive in the future. Any additional limit on the
number of regional jets we can fly for our code-share partners could have a material adverse effect on our expansion plans and the price of our common stock. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
business model depends on major airlines, including Delta, United and Midwest, electing to contract with us instead of operating their own regional jets. Some major airlines,

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our business is labor intensive, requiring large numbers of pilots, flight attendants, mechanics and other personnel. Labor costs
constitute a significant percentage of our total operating costs. For example, during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, our salary, wage and benefit costs constituted approximately 22.3% of our
total operating costs. Increases in our unionized labor costs could result in a material reduction in our earnings. Any new collective bargaining agreements entered into by other regional carriers
with their work forces may also result in higher industry wages and increased pressure on us to increase the wages and benefits of our employees. Future agreements with unionized and
non-unionized employees may be on terms that are not as attractive as our current agreements or comparable to agreements entered into by our competitors. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ASA's
pilots, flight attendants and flight controllers are represented by unions, including: The Air Line Pilots Association, International, the Association of Flight

collective bargaining agreement with its flight attendants will become amendable in 2011. The contract with ASA's flight controllers became amendable in April 2006, and ASA is currently engaged in

operations, which may result in increased operating expenses and may negatively impact our financial results. In addition, there are other ASA employees that are not currently represented by any
union; however, collective bargaining group organization efforts among those employees occur from time to time. We recognize that such efforts will likely continue in the future and may ultimately
result in additional ASA employees being represented by one or more unions. Moreover, we cannot predict the outcome of any future negotiations relating to union representation or collective bargaining

recognize that such efforts will likely continue in the future and may ultimately result in some or all of SkyWest Airlines' employees being represented by one or more unions. Moreover, one or more
unions representing ASA employees may seek a single carrier determination by the National Mediation Board, which could require SkyWest Airlines to recognize such union or unions as the certified
bargaining representative of SkyWest Airlines' employees. One or more unions representing ASA employees may also assert that SkyWest Airlines' employees should be subject to ASA collective bargaining
agreements. If SkyWest Airlines' employees were to unionize or be deemed to be represented by one or more unions, negotiations with unions representing SkyWest Airlines' employees could divert

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dependence on foreign imports of crude oil, limited refining capacity and the possibility of changes in government policy on jet fuel
production, transportation and marketing make it impossible to predict the future availability of jet fuel. If there are additional outbreaks of hostilities or other conflicts in
oil-producing areas or elsewhere, or a reduction in refining capacity (due to weather events, for example), or governmental limits on the production or sale of jet fuel, there could be a
reduction in the supply of jet fuel and significant increases in the cost of
jet fuel. Major reductions in the availability of jet fuel or significant increases in its cost, or a continuation of current high prices for a significant period of time, would have a material
adverse impact on us. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant
to our contract flying arrangements, our partners have agreed to bear the economic risk of fuel price fluctuations on our contracted flights. We bear the economic risk of fuel
price fluctuations on our pro-rate operations. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, essentially all of our Brasilia turboprops flown for Delta were flown under pro-rate arrangements
while, approximately 42% of our Brasilia turboprops flown in the United system were flown under pro-rate arrangements. Our operating and financial results can be affected by the price and
availability of jet fuel. Due to the competitive nature of the airline industry, we may not be able to pass on increased fuel prices to our pro-rate customers by increasing fares. Fuel
prices are volatile, and increased significantly in 2007 and 2008. Although we have had some recent success in raising fares in our pro-rate markets, these fare increases have not kept
pace with the recent extraordinary increases in the price of fuel. Furthermore, although fuel prices have moderated in recent months, increased fare competition and lower revenues may offset any
potential benefit of lower fuel prices. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We rely on a limited number of aircraft types, and are dependent on Bombardier as the sole manufacturer of our regional jets. For the

flown using CRJ900s. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, we had commitments of approximately $459.7&nbsp;million to purchase one CRJ900 and 18 CRJ700s. We expect to complete these deliveries by the
first quarter of 2010. On January&nbsp;9, 2009, we announced that ASA has reached an agreement with Delta to operate an additional ten CRJ900 regional jet aircraft. The aircraft were previously
ordered by Delta and will be contracted for flying with ASA. ASA expects to take delivery of these aircraft between February and May 2009. The aircraft will serve as replacements for 20 CRJ200s that
are scheduled for removal from contract service between April 2010 and August 2010, which is earlier than the existing scheduled termination dates as contained in the Delta Connection Agreement.
Additionally, we have obtained options to acquire another 22 regional jets that can be delivered in 70 to 90-seat configurations. Delivery dates for these aircraft remain subject to final

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any significant disruption or delay in the expected delivery schedule of our fleet would adversely affect our business strategy and overall operations and could
have a material adverse impact on our operating results or our financial condition. Certain of Bombardier's aerospace workers are represented by unions and have participated in at least one strike in
recent history. Any future prolonged strike at Bombardier or delay in Bombardier's production schedule as a result of labor matters could disrupt the delivery of regional jets to us, which could
adversely affect our planned fleet growth. We are also dependent on General Electric as the manufacturer of our aircraft engines. General Electric also provides parts, repair and overhaul services,
and other types of support services on our engines. Our operations could be materially and adversely affected by the failure or inability of Bombardier or General Electric to provide sufficient parts
or related maintenance and support services to us on a timely or economical basis, or the interruption of our flight operations as a result of unscheduled or unanticipated maintenance requirements for
our aircraft or engines. In addition, the issuance of FAA directives restricting or prohibiting the use of Bombardier aircraft types we operate would have a material adverse effect on our business and
operations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Maintenance costs will likely continue to increase as the age of our regional jet fleet increases.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our maintenance costs increased $83.7&nbsp;million, or 28.1%, during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, compared to the year
ended December&nbsp;31, 2007. The average age of our CRJ200s is approximately 7.3&nbsp;years. Most of the parts on the CRJ200 fleet are no longer under
warranty and we have started to incur more heavy airframe checks and engine overhauls. Our maintenance costs are expected to continue to increase on this fleet. Under our United Express Agreement and
Midwest Services Agreement, specific amounts are included in the current rates for future maintenance on CRJ200 engines used in our United Express and Midwest Connect operations. The actual cost of
maintenance on CRJ200 engines may vary from the agreed upon rates. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Because
the average age of our CRJ900s and CRJ700s as of December&nbsp;31, 2008 was approximately 1.8 and 4.4&nbsp;years, respectively, our CRJ900 and CRJ700 fleets require less
maintenance now than it will in the future. We have incurred relatively low maintenance expenses on our CRJ900 and CRJ700 fleet because most of the parts on these aircraft are under
multi-year warranties and a limited number of heavy airframe checks and engine overhauls have occurred. Our maintenance costs will increase significantly, both on an absolute basis and as
a percentage of our operating expenses, as our fleet ages and these warranties expire. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> If we incur problems with any of our third-party service providers, our operations could be adversely affected.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our reliance upon others to provide essential services on behalf of our operations may limit our ability to control the efficiency and
timeliness of contract services. We have entered into agreements with contractors to provide various facilities and services required for our operations, including fuel supply and delivery, aircraft
maintenance, services and ground facilities, and expect to enter into additional similar agreements in the future. These agreements are subject to termination after notice. Any material problems with
the efficiency and timeliness of our automated or contract services could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Interruptions or disruptions in service at one of our hub airports, due to adverse weather or for any other reason, could have a material adverse impact on our operations.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We currently operate primarily through hubs in Atlanta, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Chicago, Denver,
Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky and the Pacific Northwest. Nearly all of our flights will either originate or fly into one of these hubs. Our revenues depend primarily on our completion of flights and
secondarily on service factors such as timeliness of departure and arrival. Any interruptions or disruptions could, therefore, severely and adversely affect us. Extreme weather can cause flight
disruptions, and during periods of storms or adverse weather, fog, low temperatures, etc., </FONT></P>

flights may be canceled or significantly delayed. Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, in particular, caused severe disruption to air travel in the affected areas and adversely affected airlines operating
in the region, including ASA. We operate a significant number of flights to and from airports with particular weather difficulties, including Atlanta, Salt Lake City, Chicago, Milwaukee and Denver. A
significant interruption or disruption in service at one of our hubs, due to adverse weather or otherwise, could result in the cancellation or delay of a significant portion of our flights and, as a
result, could have a severe impact on our business, operations and financial performance. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Our investment in a foreign airline may negatively impact our profitability.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On September&nbsp;4, 2008, we announced our intention to acquire a 20% interest in a Brazilian regional airline, Trip Linhas Aereas
("Trip"), for $30&nbsp;million. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, we made an investment of $5&nbsp;million for a 6.7% interest in Trip, which is recorded under "Other assets" on our consolidated
balance sheet. If Trip meets or exceeds certain financial targets, we are scheduled to make an additional $15&nbsp;million investment on March&nbsp;1, 2009 and another $10&nbsp;million
investment on March&nbsp;1, 2010. There is no assurance that Trip will ultimately succeed in its business plan. In the event that Trip incurs operating losses or files for bankruptcy, such events
would negatively impact our profitability. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Fluctuations in interest rates could adversely affect our liquidity, operating expenses and results.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A substantial portion of our indebtedness bears interest at fluctuating interest rates. These are primarily based on the London
interbank offered rate for deposits of U.S. dollars, or "LIBOR." LIBOR tends to fluctuate based on general economic conditions, general interest rates, federal reserve rates and the supply of and
demand for credit in the London interbank market.
We have not hedged our interest rate exposure and, accordingly, our interest expense for any particular period may fluctuate based on LIBOR and other variable interest rates. To the extent these
interest rates increase, our interest expense will increase, in which event, we may have difficulty making interest payments and funding our other fixed costs and our available cash flow for general
corporate requirements may be adversely affected. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Our business could be harmed if we lose the services of our key personnel.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our business depends upon the efforts of our chief executive officer, Jerry C. Atkin, and our other key management and operating
personnel. We may have difficulty replacing management or other key personnel who leave and, therefore, the loss of the services of any of these individuals could harm our business. We do not maintain
key-man insurance on any of our executive officers. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> We may be materially affected by uncertainties in the airline industry.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The airline industry has experienced tremendous challenges in recent years and will likely remain volatile for the foreseeable future.
Among other factors, the financial challenges faced by major carriers, including Delta and United the slowing U.S. economy and increased hostilities in Iraq, the Middle East and other regions have
significantly affected, and are likely to continue to affect, the U.S. airline industry. These events have resulted in declines and shifts in passenger demand, increased insurance costs, increased
government regulations and tightened credit markets, all of which have affected, and will continue to affect, the operations and financial condition of participants in the industry, including us,
major carriers (including our major partners), competitors and aircraft manufacturers. These industry developments raise substantial risks and uncertainties which will affect us, major carriers
(including our major partners), competitors and aircraft manufacturers in ways that we are unable to currently predict. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> The airline industry is highly competitive and has undergone a period of consolidation and transition leaving fewer potential code-share partners.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The airline industry is highly competitive. We not only compete with other regional airlines, some of which are owned by or operated as
code-share partners of major airlines, but we also face competition from low-cost carriers and major airlines on many of our routes. Low-cost carriers such as
Southwest, JetBlue, US Airways, Frontier, and AirTran, among others, operate at many of our hubs, resulting in significant price competition. Additionally, a large number of other carriers operate at
our hubs, creating intense competition. Certain of our competitors are larger and have significantly greater financial and other resources than we do. Moreover, federal deregulation of the industry
allows competitors to rapidly enter our markets and to quickly discount and restructure fares. The airline industry is particularly susceptible to price discounting because airlines incur only nominal
costs to provide service to passengers occupying otherwise unsold seats. Increased fare competition could adversely affect our operations and the price of our common stock. The airline industry has
undergone substantial consolidation, and it may in the future undergo additional consolidation. Recent examples include the merger between Delta and Northwest Airlines in October 2008. America West
Airlines and US Airways in September 2005, and American Airlines' acquisition of the majority of Trans World Airlines' assets in 2001. Several of the major airlines are currently in discussions
related to consolidation in the industry. Other developments include domestic and international code-share alliances between major carriers. Any additional consolidation or significant
alliance activity within the airline industry could limit the number of potential partners with whom we could enter into code-share relationships and materially adversely affect our
relationship with our code-share partners. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
a result of the Delta and Northwest merger, Delta may change its strategy regarding the use of its wholly owned regional carriers and the use of third party regional carriers such as
SkyWest Airlines and ASA. Delta may also make other strategic changes such as changing and or consolidating hub locations. If Delta were to make changes such as these in its strategy and operations,
our operations and financial results could be adversely impacted. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Terrorist activities or warnings have dramatically impacted the airline industry, and will likely continue to do so.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The terrorist attacks of September&nbsp;11, 2001 and their aftermath have negatively impacted the airline industry in general,
including our operations. The primary effects experienced by the airline industry include a substantial loss of passenger traffic and revenue. Although, to some degree, airline passenger traffic and
revenue have recovered since the September&nbsp;11<SUP>th</SUP>&nbsp;attacks, additional terrorist attacks could have a similar or even more pronounced effect. Even if additional terrorist
attacks are not launched against the airline industry, there will be lasting consequences of the attacks, including increased security and insurance costs, increased concerns about future terrorist
attacks, increased government regulation and airport delays due to heightened security. Additional terrorist attacks and the fear of such attacks could negatively impact the airline industry, and
result in further decreased passenger traffic and yields, increased flight delays or cancellations associated with new government mandates, as well as increased security, fuel and other costs. We
cannot provide any
assurance that these events will not harm the airline industry generally or our operations or financial condition in particular. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Fuel costs have adversely affected, and will likely continue to adversely affect, the operations and financial performance of the airline industry.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The price of aircraft fuel is unpredictable and was volatile during much of 2008. Higher fuel prices may lead to higher airfares, which
would tend to decrease the passenger load of our code-share partners. In the long run, such decreases will likely have an adverse effect on the number of flights such partner will ask us
to provide and the revenues associated with such flights. Additionally, fuel </FONT></P>

have been threatened. The future cost and availability of fuel to us cannot be predicted, and substantial fuel cost increases or the unavailability of adequate supplies of fuel may have a
material adverse effect on our results of operations. During periods of increasing fuel costs, our operating margins have been, and will likely continue to be, adversely affected. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> We are subject to significant governmental regulation.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All interstate air carriers, including SkyWest Airlines and ASA, are subject to regulation by the DOT, the FAA and other governmental
agencies. Regulations promulgated by the DOT primarily relate to economic aspects of air service. The FAA requires operating, air worthiness and other certificates; approval of personnel who may
engage in flight, maintenance or operation activities; record keeping procedures in accordance with FAA requirements; and FAA approval of flight training and retraining programs. We cannot predict
whether we will be able to comply with all present and future laws, rules, regulations and certification requirements or that the cost of continued compliance will not have a material adverse effect
on our operations. We incur substantial costs in maintaining our current certifications and otherwise complying with the laws, rules and regulations to which we are subject. A decision by the FAA to
ground, or require time-consuming inspections of or maintenance on, all or any of our aircraft for any reason may have a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition to state and
federal regulation, airports and municipalities enact rules and regulations that affect our operations. From time to time, various airports throughout the country have considered limiting the use of
smaller aircraft, such as our aircraft, at such airports. The imposition of any limits on the use of our aircraft at any airport at which we operate could have a material adverse effect on our
operations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> The occurrence of an aviation accident would negatively impact our operations and financial condition.  </I></B></FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;An accident or incident involving one of our aircraft could result in significant potential claims of injured passengers and others, as
well as repair or replacement of a damaged aircraft and its consequential temporary or permanent loss from service. In the event of an accident, our liability insurance may not be adequate to offset
our exposure to potential claims and we may be forced to bear substantial losses from the accident. Substantial claims resulting from an accident in excess of our related insurance coverage would harm
our operational and financial results. Moreover, any aircraft accident or incident, even if fully insured, could cause a public perception that our operations are less safe or reliable than other
airlines. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the "Restated Articles"), authorize the issuance of up to 120,000,000 shares of
common stock, all of which may be issued without any action or approval by our shareholders. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, we had 56,369,712 shares outstanding. In addition, as of
December&nbsp;31, 2008, we had equity-based incentive plans under which 2,468,859 shares are reserved for issuance and an employee stock purchase plan under which 1,076,672 shares are reserved for
issuance, both of which may dilute the ownership interest of our shareholders. Our Restated Articles also authorize the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Our board of directors
has the authority to issue preferred stock with the rights and preferences, and at the price, which it determines. Any shares of preferred stock issued would likely be senior to shares of our common
stock in various regards, including dividends, payments upon liquidation and voting. The value of our common stock could be negatively affected by the issuance of any shares of preferred stock. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SkyWest
Airlines has firm orders to acquire 18 new CRJ700s and one new CRJ900. On January&nbsp;9, 2009, we announced that ASA has reached an agreement with Delta to operate an
additional ten CRJ900 regional jet aircraft. The aircraft were previously ordered by Delta and are now being contracted for flying with ASA. ASA expects to take delivery of these aircraft between
February and May 2009. The aircraft will serve as replacements for 20 CRJ200s that are scheduled for removal from contract service between April 2010 and August 2010, which is earlier than the
existing scheduled termination dates as contained in the Delta Connection Agreement. In addition, gross committed expenditures for these 29 aircraft and related equipment, including estimated amounts
for contractual price escalations will be approximately $459.7&nbsp;million through the first quarter of 2010. SkyWest Airlines and ASA have also obtained combined options for another 22 Bombardier
Regional Jets that can be delivered in either 70 or 90-seat configurations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Bombardier Regional Jets  </I></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Bombardier Regional Jets are among the quietest commercial jets currently available and offer many of the amenities of larger
commercial jet aircraft, including flight attendant service, as well as a stand-up cabin, overhead and under seat storage, lavatories and in-flight snack and beverage service.
The speed of Bombardier Regional Jets is comparable to larger aircraft operated by the major airlines, and they have a range of approximately 1,600 miles; however, because of their smaller size and
efficient design, the per-flight cost of operating a Bombardier Regional Jet is generally less than that of a 120-seat or larger jet aircraft. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Brasilia Turboprops  </I></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Brasilia turboprops are 30-seat, pressurized aircraft designed to operate more economically over short-haul
routes than larger jet aircraft. These factors make it economically feasible for SkyWest Airlines to provide high frequency service in markets with relatively low volumes of passenger traffic.
Passenger comfort features of the Brasilia turboprops include stand-up headroom, a lavatory, overhead baggage compartments and flight attendant service. We expect that Delta and United
will want us to continue to operate Brasilia turboprops in markets where passenger load and other factors make the operation of a regional jet impractical. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, SkyWest
Airlines operated 56 Brasilia turboprops out of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Seattle/Tacoma and Portland. SkyWest Airlines' Brasilia turboprops are generally used in its California
markets, which are characterized by high frequency service on shorter stage lengths. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are subject to certain legal actions which we consider routine to our business activities. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, our

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> ASA and SkyWest Airlines v. Delta Air Lines  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During the quarter ended December&nbsp;31, 2007, Delta notified SkyWest, SkyWest Airlines and ASA of a dispute under the Delta
Connection Agreements executed by Delta with SkyWest Airlines and ASA. The dispute relates to allocation of liability for certain irregular operations ("IROP") expenses that are paid by SkyWest
Airlines and ASA to their passengers under certain situations. As a result, Delta withheld a combined total of approximately $25&nbsp;million (pretax) from one of the weekly scheduled wire payments
to SkyWest and ASA during December 2007. Delta continues to withhold a portion of the funds we believe are payable as weekly scheduled wire payments to SkyWest and ASA. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008,
we had recognized a cumulative total of $32.4&nbsp;million of revenue associated with funds withheld by Delta. On February&nbsp;1, 2008, SkyWest Airlines and ASA filed a lawsuit in Georgia state
court disputing Delta's treatment of the matter (the "Complaint"). Delta filed an Answer to the Complaint and a Counterclaim against SkyWest Airlines and ASA on March&nbsp;24, 2008. Delta's
Counterclaim alleges that ASA and SkyWest Airlines breached the Delta Connection Agreements by invoicing Delta for the IROP expenses that were paid pursuant to Delta's policies, and claims only a
portion of those expenses may be invoiced to Delta. Delta seeks unspecified damages in its Counterclaim. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
March&nbsp;24, 2008, Delta also filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint. A hearing on the Motion was held June&nbsp;5, 2008. In an order entered June&nbsp;13, 2008, the Court
granted in part and denied in part the Motion to Dismiss. The Court denied the Motion to Dismiss with respect to the breach of contract claim contained in the Complaint. The Court denied in part the
Motion to Dismiss with respect to the action for declaratory judgment contained in the Complaint, and granted in part the Motion to Dismiss to the extent the Complaint seeks to read alternative or
supplemental obligations created by prior conduct into the Connection Agreements. The Court granted the Motion to Dismiss with respect to claims for estoppel, unilateral mistake, and mutual mistake
contained in the Complaint. SkyWest
Airlines and ASA currently intend to vigorously pursue their claims set forth in the Complaint, to the extent permitted by the Court's ruling on the Motion to Dismiss, and their defenses to Delta's
counterclaims. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have evaluated the Delta dispute in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS No.5"), Accounting for Contingencies. Based on the provisions
of SFAS No.&nbsp;5, an estimated loss is accrued if the loss is probable and reasonably estimable. Because these conditions have not been satisfied, we have not recorded a loss in our condensed
consolidated financial statements as of December&nbsp;31, 2008.  </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Overview  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Through SkyWest Airlines and ASA, we operate the largest regional airline in the United States. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, SkyWest
Airlines and ASA offered scheduled passenger and air freight service with more than 2,300 total daily departures to 218 destinations in the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean.
Additionally, as of December&nbsp;31, 2008, we provided ground handling services for approximately eight other airlines throughout our system. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, we operated a combined
fleet of 442 aircraft consisting of 250 CRJ200s (67 assigned to United, 162 assigned to Delta, 12 assigned to Midwest and nine used by SkyWest Airlines as additional maintenance spare aircraft) 104
CRJ700s (52 assigned to United and 52 assigned to Delta), 20 CRJ900s (all assigned to Delta), 56 Brasilia turboprops (44 assigned to United and 12 assigned to Delta), and 12 ATR-72
turboprops (all assigned to Delta). As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, the 12 ATR-72 turboprops were no longer in revenue service, and ASA expects to return the aircraft to the lessor by
February&nbsp;28, 2009. We believe our success in attracting multiple contractual relationships with major airline partners is attributable to our delivery of high-quality customer
service with an all cabin-class fleet at a competitive cost structure. For the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, approximately 56.3% of our aggregate capacity was operated under the Delta code,
approximately 40.3% was operated under the United code and approximately 3.4% was operated under the Midwest code. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SkyWest
Airlines has been a code-share partner with Delta in Salt Lake City and United in Los Angeles since 1987 and 1997, respectively. In 1998, SkyWest Airlines expanded
its relationship with United to provide service in Portland, Seattle/Tacoma, San Francisco and additional Los Angeles markets. In 2004, SkyWest Airlines expanded its United Express operations to
provide service in Chicago. In December 2006, SkyWest Airlines and Midwest entered into an Airline Services Agreement (the "Midwest Services Agreement"). SkyWest Airlines serves markets from Midwest's
hub in Milwaukee. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, SkyWest Airlines operated as a Delta Connection carrier in Salt Lake City, a United Express carrier in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver, Chicago and
the Pacific Northwest, and a Midwest Connect carrier in Milwaukee operating more than 1,500 total daily flights. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ASA
has been a code-share partner with Delta in Atlanta since 1984. ASA expanded its operations as a Delta Connection carrier to also include Cincinnati and Salt Lake City in
September 2002 and April 2003, respectively. ASA operates approximately 775 daily flights, all in the Delta Connection system. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
provide a substantial majority of the regional airline service for Delta in Atlanta and Salt Lake City. In connection with our acquisition of ASA in September 2005, we established
new, separate, but substantially similar, long-term fixed-fee Delta Connection Agreements with Delta for both SkyWest Airlines and ASA. We also obtained the right to use 29
gates in the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport located in Atlanta, from which we currently provide service to Delta. Delta has also agreed that if Delta solicits requests for proposals to fly
Delta Connection regional aircraft, ASA will be permitted to bid to maintain the same percentage of total Delta Connection regional jet flights that it operated </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>during
2007, and, if ASA does not achieve the winning bid for the proposed flying, ASA will be permitted to match the terms of the winning bid to the extent necessary for ASA to maintain its
percentage of Delta Connection regional jet flying that it operated during 2007. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Historically,
multiple contractual relationships have enabled us to reduce reliance on any single major airline code and to enhance and stabilize operating results through a mix of
contract flying and our controlled or "pro-rate" flying. For the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, contract flying revenue and pro-rate revenue represented approximately 96%
and 4%, respectively, of our total passenger revenues. On contract routes, the major airline partner controls scheduling, ticketing, pricing and seat inventories and we are compensated by the major
airline partner at contracted rates based on the completed block hours, flight departures and other operating measures. On pro-rate flights, we control scheduling, ticketing, pricing and
seat inventories and receive a pro-rated portion of passenger fares. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, essentially all of our Brasilia turboprops flown for Delta were flown under
pro-rate arrangements, while approximately 58% of our Brasilia turboprops flown in the United system were flown under contractual arrangements, with the remaining 42% flown under
pro-rate arrangements. </FONT></P>

<BR></FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>  Financial Highlights    <BR>    </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We had revenues of $3.5&nbsp;billion for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, a 3.6% increase, compared to revenues of
$3.4&nbsp;billion for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007. We had net income of $112.9&nbsp;million for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, a decrease of 29.1%, or $1.93 per diluted
share, compared to $159.2&nbsp;million of net income, or $2.49 per diluted share, for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
significant items affecting our financial performance during 2008 are outlined below: </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
June 2008, SkyWest Airlines was notified that Midwest was in the process of organizing a financial restructuring. Subsequently, SkyWest Airlines reached an agreement with Midwest to
reduce the
number of aircraft operating under the Midwest Services Agreement from 21 aircraft to 12 aircraft. As part of the modified terms, SkyWest Airlines agreed to defer a portion of Midwest's weekly payment
obligations from July&nbsp;1, 2008 through November&nbsp;30, 2008. The amount we agreed to defer plus certain amounts Midwest owed to SkyWest Airlines at June&nbsp;30, 2008 will be payable, with
interest, by Midwest in four equal quarterly payments starting on August&nbsp;31, 2009. Because of the unique modified payment terms associated with the deferred amounts, we did not recognize the
revenue associated with the deferred payments in our consolidated statements of income for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008. The total amount of deferred payments for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2008 is $9.0&nbsp;million. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During
2008, our operating subsidiaries, SkyWest Airlines and ASA, experienced reductions in the block hours scheduled by their major partners under their code-sharing
agreements. Under our contract flying arrangements with our partners, a portion of our compensation is received using fixed rates per completed block hour. This reduction in block hours reduced the
profitability of SkyWest Airlines and ASA in 2008 under those agreements as we were unable to reduce our operating costs at the same rate as the reduction in scheduled block hours. The financial
impact of the block hour reduction, imposed by our major partners during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 was larger than we originally anticipated. For the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008
our block hours have decreased approximately 4.3% from the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
are at risk for increased fuel prices on our pro-rate flying operations, pursuant to which we receive a pro-rated portion of the passenger fare as revenue. As
of December&nbsp;31, 2008, we operated a total of 32 Brasilia turboprops under separate pro-rate agreements with Delta and United. During the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, the
cost of fuel associated with the pro-rate operations increased approximately $6.5&nbsp;million (pre-tax) compared to the prior period. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
maintenance costs increased $83.7&nbsp;million, or 28.1%, during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, compared to the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007. The increase was
primarily related to the timing of engine overhaul events. Our engine overhaul expense increased approximately $54.8&nbsp;million during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 compared to the year
ended December&nbsp;31, 2007. The majority of the engine overhauls related to aircraft operated under our Delta Connection Agreements and we were reimbursed for such engine overhaul costs by Delta.
Such reimbursements are reflected as passenger revenue in our consolidated statements of income. The increase in maintenance costs, excluding engine overhaul costs was principally due to other
scheduled maintenance events on our aging CRJ200 and CRJ700 aircraft. Additionally, since December&nbsp;31, 2007, we added four used CRJ200s and two used CRJ700s to our fleet. Compared to new
aircraft, used aircraft typically experience higher maintenance costs during the first year of service. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total
available seat miles ("ASMs") for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 decreased 4.1%, compared to the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007, primarily as a result of our major
partners decreasing the utilization of our aircraft and a reduction in the number of aircraft we operated for Midwest. During the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, we generated 22.0&nbsp;billion
ASMs, compared to 23.0&nbsp;billion ASMs&nbsp;during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At
December&nbsp;31, 2008, we had approximately $705.2&nbsp;million in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities, compared to approximately
$660.4&nbsp;million as of December&nbsp;31, 2007. During the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, we spent approximately $102.6&nbsp;million to purchase and retire approximately
5.4&nbsp;million shares of our common stock. During the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, we acquired three new CRJ 900s, which were financed through long-term debt agreements. We
also acquired two used CRJ 700s under sublease arrangements with a major partner at nominal monthly amounts. We also acquired four used CRJ200s, which we financed under long-term debt
arrangements. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On October&nbsp;12, 2007, we announced SkyWest Airlines' plans to acquire 22 additional regional jet aircraft through 2010, 18 of
which SkyWest Airlines intends to operate for United Express, as part of an aircraft transition plan. We believe this transition plan will allow United Express to remove 23 30-seat
Brasilia turboprops from operation under the United Express Agreement and add 66 seat regional jet aircraft for United Express flying. Generally, the turboprop removals are intended to occur in
conjunction with deliveries of new regional jet aircraft in order to ensure a smooth transition in existing markets. Additionally, SkyWest Airlines intends to exchange four 50-seat CRJ200s
for four CRJ900s configured with 76 seats in its Delta Connection operations. On November&nbsp;30, 2007, we announced that SkyWest Airlines placed a firm order for 22 aircraft with Bombardier.
During the fourth quarter of 2008, SkyWest Airlines took delivery of three CRJ900s. SkyWest Airlines is scheduled to take delivery of the remaining aircraft during 2009 and the first quarter of 2010. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
January&nbsp;9, 2009, we announced that ASA reached an agreement with Delta to operate an additional ten CRJ900 regional jet aircraft. The aircraft were previously ordered by Delta
and are now being contracted for flying with ASA. ASA expects to take delivery of these aircraft between February and May 2009. We expect to acquire these aircraft under sublease arrangements with
Delta at nominal monthly amounts. ASA intends to use the aircraft as replacements for 20, 50-seat CRJ200s that are scheduled for removal from contract service between April 2010 and August
2010, which is earlier than the existing scheduled termination dates as contained in the Delta Connection Agreement. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
of December&nbsp;31, 2008, the 12 ATR-72 turboprops were no longer in revenue service, and ASA expects to return the aircraft to the lessor by February&nbsp;28, 2009. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Critical Accounting Policies  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note&nbsp;1 to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2008, included in Item&nbsp;8 of this Report. Critical accounting policies are those policies that are most important to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements
and require management's subjective and complex judgments due to the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting policies relate to
revenue recognition, aircraft maintenance, aircraft leases, impairment of long-lived assets and intangibles, stock-based compensation expense and fair value as discussed below. The
application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results will differ, and could differ
materially from such estimates. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Revenue Recognition  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Passenger and ground handling revenues are recognized when service is provided. Under our contract and pro-rate flying
agreements with our code-share partners, revenue is considered earned when the flight is completed. Our agreements with our code-share partners contain certain provisions
pursuant to which the parties could terminate the respective agreement, subject to certain rights of the other party, if certain performance criteria are not maintained. Our revenues could be impacted
by a number of factors, including changes to the code-share agreements, contract modifications resulting from contract renegotiations and our ability to earn incentive payments
contemplated under applicable agreements. In the event contracted rates are not finalized at a quarterly or annual financial statement date, we record that period's revenues based on the prior
period's approved rates adjusted for the current contract negotiations. Also, in the event we have a reimbursement dispute with a major partner at a quarterly or annual financial statement date, we
evaluate the dispute under our established revenue recognition criteria and, provided the revenue recognition criteria have been met, we recognize revenue for that period based on our estimate of the
resolution of the dispute. Accordingly, we are required to exercise judgment and use assumptions in the application of our revenue recognition policy. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Maintenance  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We use the direct-expense method of accounting for our regional jet aircraft engine overhaul costs. Under this method, the maintenance
liability is not recorded until the maintenance services are performed. We use the "deferral method" of accounting for our Brasilia turboprop engine overhauls, which provides for engine overhaul costs
to be capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the engine. For leased aircraft, we are subject to lease return provisions that require a minimum portion of the "life" of an
overhaul be remaining on the engine at the lease return date. With respect to engine overhauls related to leased Brasilia turboprops to be returned, we adjust the estimated useful lives of the final
engine overhauls based on the respective lease return dates. With respect to SkyWest Airlines, a third-party vendor provides our long-term engine services covering the scheduled and
unscheduled repairs for engines on our CRJ700s operated under our United Express Agreement. Under the terms of the vendor agreement, we pay a set dollar amount per engine hour flown on a monthly basis
and the third-party vendor assumes the obligation to repair the engines at no additional cost to us, subject to certain specified exclusions. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Aircraft Leases  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The majority of SkyWest Airlines' aircraft are leased from third parties, while ASA's aircraft are primarily debt-financed
on a long-term basis. In order to determine the proper classification of our leased aircraft as either operating leases or capital leases, we must make certain estimates at the inception
of the lease relating to the economic useful life and the fair value of an asset as well as select an appropriate discount rate to be used in discounting future lease payments. These estimates are
utilized by management in making computations as required by existing accounting standards that determine whether the lease is classified as an operating lease or a capital lease. All of our aircraft
leases have been classified as operating leases, which results in rental payments being charged to expense over the terms of the related leases. Additionally, operating leases are not reflected in our
condensed consolidated balance sheet and accordingly, neither a lease asset nor an obligation for future lease payments is reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Impairment of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, we had approximately $2.7&nbsp;billion of property and equipment and related assets. Additionally, as
of December&nbsp;31, 2008, we had approximately $26.2&nbsp;million in intangible assets. In accounting for these long-lived and intangible assets, we make estimates about the expected
useful lives of the assets, the expected residual values of certain of these assets, and the potential for impairment based on the fair value of the assets and the cash flows they generate. We
recorded an intangible of approximately $33.7&nbsp;million relating to the acquisition of ASA. The intangible is being amortized over fifteen years under the straight-line method. As of
December&nbsp;31, 2008, we had recorded $7.5&nbsp;million in accumulated amortization expense. Factors indicating potential impairment include, but are not limited to, significant decreases in the
market value of the long-lived assets, a significant change in the condition of the long-lived assets and operating cash flow losses associated with the use of the
long-lived assets. On a periodic basis, we evaluate whether the book value of our aircraft is impaired in accordance with SFAS No.&nbsp;144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets." Based on the results of the evaluations, our management concluded no impairment was necessary as of December&nbsp;31, 2008. However, there is inherent risk in
estimating the future cash flows used in the impairment test. If cash flows do not materialize as estimated, there is a risk the impairment charges recognized to date may be inaccurate, or further
impairment charges may be necessary in the future. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Stock-Based Compensation Expense  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Effective January&nbsp;1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;123(R), </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2><I>Share-Based Payment</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> ("SFAS
No.&nbsp;123(R)"), using the modified-prospective transition method. Under the modified-prospective transition method,
compensation cost recognized during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2006 includes compensation cost for all share-based payments granted to, but not yet vested as of January&nbsp;1, 2006, based
on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;123(R). Prior to January&nbsp;1, 2006, we applied Accounting Principles Board ("Opinion
No.&nbsp;25"), and related interpretations in accounting for our stock-based compensation plans. Results for prior periods have not been restated. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Applying
SFAS No.&nbsp;123(R), we estimate the fair value of stock options as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. We use historical data to estimate option
exercises and employee termination in the option pricing model. The expected term of options granted is derived from the output of the option pricing model and represents the period of time that
options granted are expected to be outstanding. The expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our common stock and other factors. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Fair value  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have adopted SFAS No.&nbsp;157 "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS&nbsp;157") as it applies to financial assets and liabilities
effective January&nbsp;1, 2008. SFAS&nbsp;157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and enhances disclosures
about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under SFAS&nbsp;157 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or
most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. For additional information on the fair value of certain financial
assets and liabilities, see Note&nbsp;5 to our consolidated financial statements. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under
SFAS&nbsp;157, we utilize several valuation techniques in order to assess the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities. Our cash and cash equivalents primarily utilize
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have valued non-auction rate marketable securities using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. If a quoted price is not available, we
utilize broker quotes in a non-active market for valuation of these securities. For auction-rate security instruments, quoted prices in active markets are no longer available.
As a result, we have estimated the fair values of these securities utilizing a discounted cash flow. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Passenger revenues.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Passenger revenues increased $124.2&nbsp;million, or 3.7%, during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, compared
to the year
ended December&nbsp;31, 2007. The increase in passenger revenues was primarily due to an increase in fuel and engine overhaul reimbursements from our major partners. The fuel reimbursement from our
major partners increased $150.6&nbsp;million or 14.6%, during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, compared to the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007. Our passenger revenues, excluding fuel and
engine overhaul reimbursements from major partners, decreased $78.6&nbsp;million, or 3.5%, during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, compared to the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007 . In
June 2008, we were notified that Midwest was in the process of organizing a financial restructuring. We subsequently reached agreement with Midwest to reduce the number of aircraft operating under the
Midwest Services Agreement from 21 aircraft to 12 aircraft. As part of the modified agreement, we agreed to defer a portion of Midwest's weekly payment obligations from July&nbsp;1, 2008 through
November&nbsp;30, 2008. The amount we agreed to defer, plus certain amounts Midwest owed us at June&nbsp;30, 2008, are payable, with interest, by Midwest in four equal quarterly payments starting
on August&nbsp;31, 2009. Because of the unique modified payment terms associated with the deferred amounts, we did not recognize the revenue associated with the deferred payments in our consolidated
statements of income for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008. The total amount of deferred payments for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 is $9.0&nbsp;million. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ground handling and other.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total ground handling and other revenues decreased $2.2&nbsp;million, or 7.0%, during the year ended
December&nbsp;31,
2008, compared to the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007. Revenue earned under other ground handling contracts where we provide ground handling services for other airlines is presented in the "Ground
handling and other" line in our consolidated statements of income. The decrease was primarily related to the lower volume of flights serviced under ground handling
contracts with United and Delta, whereby we perform ground handling services for several other regional airlines. </FONT></P>

The increase in the average cost per gallon during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 was mitigated by United purchasing fuel directly from a fuel vendor for our United Express aircraft operated
out of Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Denver. Midwest also purchased all of its fuel directly from fuel vendors, which reduced our total fuel costs and related passenger revenue. The

are at risk for increased fuel prices on our pro-rate flying operations, whereby we receive a pro-rated portion of the passenger fare as revenue. As of
December&nbsp;31, 2008, we operated a total of 32 Brasilia turboprops under separate pro-rate agreements with Delta and United. During the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, the cost

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>increase
was primarily related to the timing of engine overhaul events. Our engine overhaul expense increased approximately $54.8&nbsp;million during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 compared
to the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007. The majority of the engine overhauls related to aircraft operated under our Delta Connection Agreements and we were reimbursed for such engine overhaul
costs by Delta. Such reimbursements are reflected as passenger revenue in our consolidated statements of income. The increase in maintenance excluding engine overhaul costs was principally due to
other scheduled maintenance events on our aging CRJ200 and CRJ 700 aircraft and repairs incurred on aircraft damaged during the normal course of business. Additionally, since December&nbsp;31, 2007,
we added four used CRJ200s and two used CRJ700s to our fleet. Compared to new aircraft, used aircraft typically experience higher maintenance costs during the first year of service. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under
the United Express and Midwest Services Agreements, we recognize revenue at a fixed hourly rate for mature engine maintenance on regional jet engines. We record the gross amount of
that maintenance as revenue in our consolidated statements of income, and we recognize engine maintenance expense on our CRJ 200 regional jet engines on an as incurred basis as maintenance expense in
our consolidated statements of income. As a result, during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, we collected and recorded $31.4&nbsp;million (pretax) of revenue in excess of our maintenance
expense under the United Express Agreement and the Midwest Services Agreement, which is intended to compensate us for the expense of future engine maintenance overhauls. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Aircraft rentals.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Aircraft rentals increased $1.3&nbsp;million or 0.5% during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, compared to the
year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2007. The increase in aircraft rents was primarily due to the addition of two used CRJ700s that were financed through long-term leases. </FONT></P>

December&nbsp;31, 2008, compared to the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007. The increase in depreciation and amortization was primarily due to the addition of four CRJ200 and three CRJ900s that
were financed using long-term debt. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Station rentals and landing fees.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Station rentals and landing fees expense decreased $3.7&nbsp;million , or 2.8%, during the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2008, compared to the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007. Our station rents and landing fee costs can be impacted based upon the volume of passengers carried and the number of
departures. The decrease in station rentals and landing fees expense was primarily due to a 2.7% decrease in passengers carried and a 3.6% decrease in departures during the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2008. </FONT></P>

hotel costs,
decreased $2.8&nbsp;million , or 1.7%, during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, compared to the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007. The decrease in other expenses
was primarily due to the decrease in crew simulator training and crew hotel costs. These decreases were due primarily to fewer training events in 2008, primarily caused by lower production such as a
decrease of 3.6% in departures during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008. </FONT></P>

the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, compared to the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007. We are reimbursed for our actual fuel costs by our major partners under our contract flying arrangements.
We record the amount of those reimbursements as revenue. Under the SkyWest Airlines and ASA Delta Connection Agreements, we are reimbursed for our engine overhaul expense, which we record as revenue.
The following table summarizes the amount of fuel and engine overhaul expenses which are included in our total airline expenses (dollar amounts in thousands). </FONT></P>

ended
December&nbsp;31, 2006. We are reimbursed for our actual fuel costs by our major partners under our contract flying arrangements. For financial reporting purposes, we record those reimbursements as
operating revenue. Under the SkyWest Airlines and ASA Delta Connection Agreements, we are reimbursed for our engine overhaul expenses. We also record those engine overhaul reimbursements as operating
revenue. The following table summarizes the amount of fuel and engine overhaul reimbursements included in our passenger revenues (dollar amounts in thousands). </FONT></P>

the year
ended December&nbsp;31, 2006. The increase in passenger revenues was primarily due to an increase in fuel and engine overhaul reimbursements from our major partners. The fuel reimbursement from our
major partners increased $52.4&nbsp;million, or 5.3%, during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007, compared to the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2006. Our passenger revenues, excluding fuel and
engine overhaul reimbursements from major partners, increased $175.5&nbsp;million, or 8.5%, during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007, compared to the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2006. The
increase in passenger revenues, excluding fuel and engine overhaul reimbursements, was less than the corresponding increase in ASMs, primarily due to operating efficiencies obtained from increased
stage lengths flown by our regional jets. </FONT></P>

presented in the "Ground handling and other" line in our consolidated statements of income. The increase was primarily related to the higher volume of flights serviced under ground handling contracts

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fuel.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fuel costs increased $51.4&nbsp;million, or 5.1%, during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007, compared to the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2006. The average cost per gallon of fuel increased to $2.41 per gallon during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007, from $2.20 during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2006.
The increase in the average cost per gallon during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007 was mitigated by United purchasing fuel directly from a fuel vendor for our United Express aircraft operated
out of Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Denver. Midwest also purchased all of its fuel directly from fuel vendors, which reduced our total fuel costs and related passenger revenue. The
following table summarizes the gallons of fuel we purchased directly, and the change in fuel price per gallon on our fuel expense: </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>increase
in maintenance expense, excluding engine overhaul costs, was principally due to other scheduled maintenance events. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under
the United Express and Midwest Services Agreements, we recognize revenue at a fixed hourly rate for mature engine maintenance on regional jet engines. We record the gross amount of
that maintenance revenue in our consolidated statements of income, and we recognize engine maintenance expense on our CRJ 200 regional jet engines on an as incurred basis as maintenance expense in our
consolidated statements of income. As a result, during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007, we collected and recorded $30.3&nbsp;million (pretax) of revenue in excess of our maintenance expense
under the United Express Agreement and the Midwest Services Agreement, which is intended to compensate us for the expense of future engine maintenance overhauls. </FONT></P>

year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2006. The increase in aircraft rents was primarily due to the addition of ten CRJ200s, nine CRJ700s and one CRJ900 that were financed through leases. </FONT></P>

December&nbsp;31, 2007, compared to the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2006. The increase in depreciation and amortization was primarily due to the addition of one CRJ200, one CRJ700 and seven
CRJ900s that were financed using long-term debt. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ground handling service.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ground handling service expense increased $6.3&nbsp;million , or 4.7%, during the year ended December&nbsp;31,
2007,
compared to the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2006. The increase in ground handling was less than the increase the increase in ASMs, primarily due to Delta assuming responsibility from ASA in June
2007 for the performance of customer service functions in Atlanta. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other expenses.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other expenses, primarily consisting of property taxes, hull and liability insurance, crew simulator training, crew

increased $17.6&nbsp;million , or 12.1%, during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007, compared to the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2006. The increase in other expenses was primarily due to the
addition of 26 aircraft during 2007. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Interest.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Interest expense increased $8.3&nbsp;million, or 7.0% during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007 compared to the year ended

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Excluding
fuel and engine overhaul costs, our total airline expense increased $184.3&nbsp;million, or 10.0%, during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007, compared to the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2006. The percentage increase in total airline expenses excluding fuel and engine overhauls, was less than the percentage decrease in ASMs, which was primarily due to increases in
non-engine overhaul maintenance expenses attributable to the increased age of our fleet. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net Income.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Primarily due to factors described above, net income increased to $159.2&nbsp;million, or $2.49 per diluted share, for the
year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2007, compared to $145.8&nbsp;million, or $2.30 per diluted share, for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2006. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Liquidity and Capital Resources  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We had working capital of $834.1&nbsp;million and a current ratio of 3.2:1 at December&nbsp;31, 2008, compared to working capital
of $811.9&nbsp;million and a current ratio of 3.0:1 at December&nbsp;31, 2007. The increase was principally attributable to cash generated from operations during 2008. The principal sources of
cash during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 were $415.5&nbsp;million provided by operating activities, $80.4&nbsp;million of proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt,
$17.4&nbsp;million from the sale of common stock in connection with the exercise of stock options under our stock option and employee stock purchase plans, $3.5&nbsp;million from returns on
aircraft deposits and $4.6&nbsp;million from proceeds from the sale of property and equipment. We invested
$50.4&nbsp;million in marketable securities, invested $194.2&nbsp;million in flight equipment, made principal payments on long-term debt of $119.8&nbsp;million, repurchased
$102.6&nbsp;million of outstanding shares of our common stock, invested $37.6&nbsp;million in buildings and ground equipment, paid $7.0&nbsp;million in cash dividends and invested
$6.6&nbsp;million in other assets. These factors resulted in a $3.1&nbsp;million increase in cash and cash equivalents during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
position in marketable securities, consisting primarily of bonds, bond funds and commercial paper, increased to $568.6&nbsp;million at December&nbsp;31, 2008, compared to
$522.9&nbsp;million at December&nbsp;31, 2007. The increase in marketable securities was due primarily to cash generated from operations in 2008 that were invested in marketable securities. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At
December&nbsp;31, 2008, our total capital mix was 43.1% equity and 56.9% debt, compared to 41.8% equity and 58.2% debt at December&nbsp;31, 2007. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
of December&nbsp;31, 2008, SkyWest Airlines has a $25&nbsp;million line of credit. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007, SkyWest Airlines had no amount outstanding under the
facility. The facility expires on March&nbsp;31, 2009 and has a fixed interest rate of 4.01%. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
of December&nbsp;31, 2008, we had $41.9&nbsp;million in letters of credit and surety bonds outstanding with various banks and surety institutions. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
of December&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007, we classified $10.7&nbsp;million and $14.7&nbsp;million, respectively, as restricted cash, related to our workers compensation policies. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Purchase Commitments and Options  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On October&nbsp;12, 2007, we announced SkyWest Airlines' plans to acquire 22 additional regional jet aircraft through 2010, 18 of
which SkyWest Airlines intends to operate for United Express as part of an aircraft transition plan, allowing United Express to remove 23 30-seat Brasilia turboprops from the contract
reimbursement model contemplated by the United Express Agreement and add 66-seat regional jet aircraft for United Express flying. Generally, the turboprop removals under the United Express
Agreement are intended to occur in conjunction with deliveries of new regional jet aircraft in order to facilitate a smooth transition in existing markets. Additionally, SkyWest Airlines intends to
exchange four CRJ200s for four CRJ900s in its Delta Connection operations. These four 50-seat CRJ200s are scheduled to be placed into service under other capacity purchase agreements. In
November 2007, SkyWest Airlines placed a firm order with Bombardier for the 22 new aircraft. During the fourth quarter of 2008, SkyWest Airlines took delivery of three CRJ900s. SkyWest Airlines is
scheduled to take delivery of the remaining aircraft during 2009 and the first quarter of 2010. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
January&nbsp;9, 2009, we announced that ASA reached an agreement with Delta to operate 10 additional CRJ900 regional jet aircraft. The aircraft were previously ordered by Delta and
are now being contracted for flying with ASA. ASA expects to take delivery of these aircraft between February and May 2009. We expect to acquire these aircraft under sublease arrangements with Delta
at nominal monthly amounts. ASA intends to use the aircraft as replacements for 20 CRJ200s that are scheduled for removal from contract service between April 2010 and August 2010, which is earlier
than the existing scheduled termination dates as contained in the Delta Connection Agreement. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total
expenditures for these aircraft and related flight equipment, including amounts for contractual price escalations, are estimated to be approximately $459.7&nbsp;million through
the first quarter of 2010. Additionally, SkyWest Airlines' agreement with Bombardier includes options for another 22 aircraft that can be delivered in either 70 or 90-seat configurations.
Delivery dates for these aircraft remain subject to final determination as we agree upon with our major partners. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have not historically funded a substantial portion of our aircraft acquisitions with working capital. Rather, we have generally funded our aircraft acquisitions through a combination
of operating leases and long-term debt financing. At the time of each aircraft acquisition, we evaluate the financing alternatives available to us, and select one or more of these methods
to fund the acquisition. In the event that alternative financing cannot be arranged at the time of delivery, Bombardier has typically financed our aircraft acquisitions until more permanent
arrangements can be made. Subsequent to this </FONT></P>

acquisition of an aircraft, we may also refinance the aircraft or convert one form of financing to another (e.g.,&nbsp;replacing debt financing with leveraged lease financing). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At
present, we intend to satisfy our 2009 firm aircraft purchase commitment, as well as our acquisition of any additional aircraft, through a combination of operating leases and debt
financing, consistent with our historical practices. Based on current market conditions and discussions with prospective leasing organizations and financial institutions, we currently believe that we
will be able to obtain financing for our committed acquisitions, as well as additional aircraft, without materially reducing the amount of working capital available for our operating activities.
Nonetheless, recent disruptions in the credit markets have resulted in greater volatility, decreased liquidity and limited availability of capital, and there is no assurance that we will be able to
obtain necessary funding or that, if we are able to obtain necessary capital, the corresponding terms will be favorable or acceptable to us. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Aircraft Lease and Facility Obligations  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We also have significant long-term lease obligations primarily relating to our aircraft fleet. At December&nbsp;31, 2008,
we had 287 aircraft under lease with remaining terms ranging from one to 17&nbsp;years. Future minimum lease payments due under all long-term operating leases were approximately
$3.0&nbsp;billion at December&nbsp;31, 2008. Assuming a 7.4% discount rate, which is the average rate used to approximate the implicit rates within the applicable aircraft leases, the present
value of these lease obligations would have been equal to approximately $2.0&nbsp;billion at December&nbsp;31, 2008. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
part of our leveraged lease agreements, we typically agree to indemnify the equity/owner participant against liabilities that may arise due to changes in benefits from tax ownership
of the respective leased aircraft. See Note&nbsp;4 to our consolidated financial statements set forth in Item&nbsp;8 of this Report. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Long-term Debt Obligations  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our total long-term debt at December&nbsp;31, 2008 was $1,811.5&nbsp;million, of which $1,805.4&nbsp;million related
to the acquisition of Brasilia turboprop, CRJ200, CRJ700 and CRJ900 aircraft and $6.1&nbsp;million related to our corporate office building. The average effective interest rate on the debt related
to the Brasilia turboprop and CRJ aircraft was approximately 5.5% at December&nbsp;31, 2008. The average effective interest rate on the debt related to our corporate office building was
approximately 7.9% at December&nbsp;31, 2008. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Guarantees  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have guaranteed the obligations of SkyWest Airlines under the SkyWest Airlines Delta Connection Agreement and the Midwest Airline
Services Agreement and the obligations of ASA under the ASA Delta Connection Agreement. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> New Accounting Standards  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In October 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") 08-6 </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2><I>Equity Method Investment Accounting
Considerations</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, which address how the initial carrying value of an equity method investment should be determined,
how an impairment assessment of an underlying indefinite-lived intangible asset of an equity method investment should be performed, and the accounting for an equity-method investee's issuance of
shares. Our management believes that this will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Also,
in October 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS&nbsp;157-3, </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That
Asset is Not Active</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> ("FSP 157-3"). FSP 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS&nbsp;157, which we adopted as of January&nbsp;1, 2008, in cases where
a market is not active. We have considered the guidance provided by FSP 157-3 in our determination of estimated fair values </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>Aircraft
Fuel </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
the past, we have not experienced difficulties with fuel availability and we currently expect to be able to obtain fuel at prevailing prices in quantities
sufficient to meet our future needs. Pursuant to our contract flying arrangements, United has agreed to bear the economic risk of fuel price fluctuations on our contracted United Express flights. On
our Delta Connection regional jet flights, Delta has agreed to bear the economic risk of fuel price fluctuations. We bear the economic risk of fuel price fluctuations on our pro-rate
operations. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, essentially all of our Brasilia turboprops flown for Delta were flown under pro-rate arrangements while, approximately 42% of our Brasilia
turboprops flown in the United system were flown under pro-rate arrangements. The average price per gallon of aircraft fuel increased 38.2% to $3.33 for the year ended December&nbsp;31,
2008, from $2.41 for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007. For illustrative purposes only, we have estimated the impact of the market risk of fuel on our pro-rate operations using a
hypothetical increase of 25% in the price per gallon we purchase. Based on this hypothetical assumption, we would have incurred an additional $9.0&nbsp;million in fuel expense for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2008. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>Interest
Rates </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
earnings are affected by changes in interest rates due to the amounts of variable rate long-term debt and the amount of cash and securities
held. The interest rates applicable to variable rate notes may rise and increase the amount of interest expense. We would also receive higher amounts of interest income on cash and securities held at
the time; however, the market value of our available-for-sale securities would likely decline. At December&nbsp;31, 2008, we had variable rate notes representing 46.6% of our
total long-term debt compared to 49.6% of our long-term debt at December&nbsp;31, 2007. For illustrative purposes only, we have estimated the impact of market risk using a
hypothetical increase in interest rates of one percentage point for both variable rate long-term debt and cash and securities. Based on this hypothetical assumption, we would have incurred
an additional $8.8&nbsp;million in interest expense and received $6.7&nbsp;million in additional interest income for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 and we would have incurred an
additional $9.6&nbsp;million in interest expense and received $6.9&nbsp;million in additional interest income for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007. However, under our contractual
arrangement with our major partners, the majority of the increase in interest expense would be passed through and recorded as passenger revenue in the consolidated statement of income. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
currently intend to finance the acquisition of aircraft through manufacturer financing, third-party leases or long-term borrowings. Changes in interest rates may impact
our actual costs of acquiring these aircraft. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>Auction
Rate Securities </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have investments in auction rate securities, which are classified as available for sale securities and reflected at fair value. Due primarily to instability
in credit markets, we sold a portion of these investments. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, we had investments valued at a total of $4.7&nbsp;million, of which $2.5&nbsp;million were classified as
Marketable Securities and $2.2&nbsp;million were classified as Other Assets in our consolidated balance sheet. For a more detailed discussion on auction rate securities, including our methodology
for estimating their fair value, see Note&nbsp;5 to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Report.  </FONT></P>

SkyWest,&nbsp;Inc. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SkyWest,&nbsp;Inc. and subsidiaries as of December&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of
income, stockholders' equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December&nbsp;31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of SkyWest,&nbsp;Inc. and subsidiaries at
December&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, in conformity with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), SkyWest,&nbsp;Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting
as of December&nbsp;31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control&#151;Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and
our report dated February&nbsp;20, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. </FONT></P>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SkyWest,&nbsp;Inc. (the "Company"), through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SkyWest Airlines,&nbsp;Inc. ("SkyWest Airlines") and Atlantic Southeast Airlines,&nbsp;Inc. ("ASA"),
operates the largest regional airline in the United States. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, SkyWest and ASA offered scheduled passenger and air freight service with approximately 2,300 total daily
departures to 218 different destinations in the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean. Additionally, the Company provides ground handling services for approximately eight other airlines
throughout its system. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, the Company operated a fleet of 442 aircraft consisting of 250 50-seat Bombardier CRJ200 Regional Jet aircraft ("CRJ200s") (67
assigned to United Air Lines,&nbsp;Inc. ("United"), 162 assigned to Delta Air Lines,&nbsp;Inc. ("Delta"), 12 assigned to Midwest Airlines,&nbsp;Inc. ("Midwest") and nine used by SkyWest Airlines
as additional maintenance spare aircraft) 104 70-seat Bombardier CRJ 700 Regional Jet aircraft ("CRJ700s") (52 assigned to United and 52 assigned to Delta), 20
70-90-seat Bombardier CRJ900 Regional Jet aircraft ("CRJ900") (all assigned to Delta), 56 Embraer Brasilia EMB-120 turboprops ("Brasilia Turboprops") (44 assigned
to United and 12 assigned to Delta), and 12 Avions de Transport 72-210 ("ATR-72 turboprops") (all assigned to Delta). As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, the 12 ATR-72
turboprops were no longer in revenue service, and ASA expects to return the aircraft to the lessor by February&nbsp;28, 2009. For the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, approximately 56.3% of the
Company's capacity was operated under the Delta code, approximately 40.3% was operated under the United code and approximately 3.4% was operated under the Midwest code. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SkyWest
Airlines has been a partner with Delta in Salt Lake City and United in Los Angeles since 1987 and 1997, respectively. In 1998, SkyWest Airlines expanded its relationship with
United to provide service in Portland, Seattle/Tacoma, San Francisco and additional Los Angeles markets. In 2004, SkyWest Airlines expanded its United Express operations to provide service in Chicago.
In December 2006, SkyWest Airlines and Midwest entered into an Airline Services Agreement (the "Midwest Services Agreement"). SkyWest Airlines serves markets from Midwest's hub in Milwaukee. As of
December&nbsp;31, 2008, SkyWest Airlines operated as a Delta Connection carrier in Salt Lake City, a United Express carrier in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver, Chicago and the Pacific Northwest,
and a Midwest Connect carrier in Milwaukee operating more than 1,500 total daily flights. </FONT></P>

September 2002 and April 2003, respectively. ASA operates approximately 775 daily flights, all in the Delta Connection system. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, the Company had approximately $2.7&nbsp;billion of property and equipment and related assets.
Additionally, as of December&nbsp;31, 2008, the Company had approximately $26.2&nbsp;million in intangible assets. In accounting for these long-lived and intangible assets, the Company
makes estimates about the expected useful lives of the assets, the expected residual values of certain of these assets, and the potential for impairment based on the fair value of the assets and the
cash flows they generate. On September&nbsp;7, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of ASA. The Company recorded an intangible asset of
approximately $33.7&nbsp;million relating to the acquisition of ASA. The intangible is being amortized over fifteen years under the straight-line method. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008
and 2007, the Company had $7.5&nbsp;million and $5.2&nbsp;million in accumulated amortization expense, respectively. Factors indicating potential impairment include, but are not limited to,
significant decreases in the market value of the long-lived assets, a significant change in the condition of the long-lived assets and operating cash flow losses associated
with the use of the long-lived assets. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates whether the book value of its aircraft is impaired in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No.&nbsp;144, </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>. Based on the results </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Interest is capitalized on aircraft purchase deposits and long-term construction projects as a portion of the cost of the
asset and is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset. During the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Company capitalized interest costs of approximately
$1.4&nbsp;million, $0, and $0.6&nbsp;million, respectively. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Maintenance  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company operates under an FAA-approved continuous inspection and maintenance program. The Company uses the direct
expense method of accounting for its regional jet engine overhauls wherein the expense is recorded when the overhaul event occurs. The Company has an engine services agreement with a third party
vendor to provide long-term engine services covering the scheduled and unscheduled repairs for certain of its CRJ700 regional jet aircraft. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company
pays a set dollar amount per engine hour flown on a monthly basis and the third party vendor will assume the responsibility to repair the engines at no additional cost to the Company, subject to
certain specified exclusions. Maintenance costs under these contracts are recognized when the engine hour is flown pursuant to the terms of the contract. The Company uses the "deferral method" of
accounting for its Brasilia turboprop engine overhauls wherein the overhaul costs are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the engine. The costs of maintenance for airframe
and avionics components, landing gear and normal recurring maintenance are expensed as incurred. For leased aircraft, the Company is subject to lease return provisions that require a minimum portion
of the "life" of an overhaul be remaining on the engine at the lease return date. For Brasilia turboprop engine overhauls related to leased aircraft to be returned, the Company adjusts the estimated
useful lives of the final engine overhauls based on the respective lease return dates. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company recognizes passenger and ground handling revenues when the service is provided. Under the Company's contract and
pro-rate flying agreements with Delta, United and Midwest, revenue is considered earned when the flight is completed. Revenue is recognized under the Company's pro-rate flying
agreements based upon the portion of the pro-rate passenger fare the Company anticipates that it will receive. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SkyWest
Airlines and ASA have each entered into a Delta Connection Agreement with Delta, pursuant to which SkyWest Airlines and ASA provide contract flight services for Delta. Among
other provisions, those Delta Connection Agreements provide that, upon the third anniversary of the execution of the agreements (September&nbsp;8, 2008), the contractual rates under those agreements
shall not exceed the average rate of all carriers within the Delta Connection Program. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, SkyWest Airlines and ASA had not finalized the contractual rates with Delta. In
the event that the contractual rates have not been finalized at quarterly or annual financial statement dates, the Company records revenues based on the prior period's approved rates adjusted for the
current contract negotiations. </FONT></P>

the event the Company has a reimbursement dispute with a major partner, the Company evaluates the dispute under its established revenue recognition criteria and, provided the revenue
recognition criteria have been met, the Company recognizes revenue based on management's estimate of the resolution of the dispute. During the quarter ended December&nbsp;31, 2007, Delta notified
the Company, SkyWest Airlines and ASA of a dispute under the Delta Connection Agreements executed by Delta with SkyWest Airlines and ASA. The dispute relates to allocation of liability for certain
irregular operations ("IROP") expenses that are paid by SkyWest Airlines and ASA to their passengers under certain situations. As a result, Delta withheld a combined total of approximately
$25&nbsp;million (pretax) from one of the weekly scheduled wire payments to SkyWest and ASA during December 2007. Delta continues to withhold a portion of the funds the Company believes are payable
as weekly scheduled wire payments to SkyWest and ASA (See Note&nbsp;4 for additional details). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Delta Connection Agreements executed by SkyWest Airlines and ASA provide for fifteen-year terms, subject to early termination by Delta, SkyWest Airlines or ASA, as
applicable, upon the occurrence of certain events. Delta's termination rights include (i)&nbsp;cross-termination rights between the two Delta Connection Agreements, (ii)&nbsp;the right to
terminate each of the Delta Connection Agreements upon the occurrence of certain force majeure events, including certain labor-related events, that prevent SkyWest Airlines or ASA from performance for
certain periods, and (iii)&nbsp;the right to terminate each of the Delta Connection Agreements if SkyWest Airlines or ASA fails to maintain competitive base rate costs, subject to certain adjustment
rights. The SkyWest Airlines and ASA Delta Connection Agreements establish a multi-year rate reset provisions. In the Delta Connection Agreements, the fixed-fee rates are
specifically defined through 2009. The parties agreed that on or after a specified date in 2010 the parties would reset such rates to reflect SkyWest Airlines' actual costs in 2010 (with a similar
process on each 5th&nbsp;year thereafter). In addition to the termination rights, Delta has the right to extend the term of the Delta Connection Agreements upon the occurrence of certain events or
at the expiration of the initial term. SkyWest Airlines and ASA have the right to terminate their respective Delta Connection Agreement upon the occurrence of certain breaches by Delta, including the
failure to cure payment defaults. SkyWest Airlines and ASA also have cross-termination rights between the two Delta Connection Agreements. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under
the terms of the SkyWest Airlines Delta Connection Agreement, Delta has agreed to compensate SkyWest Airlines for the direct costs associated with operating the Delta Connection
flights, plus a payment based on block hours flown. Under the terms of the ASA Delta Connection Agreement, Delta has agreed to compensate ASA for its direct costs associated with operating the Delta
Connection flights, plus, if ASA completes a certain minimum percentage of its Delta Connection flights, an additional percentage of such costs. Additionally, ASA's Delta Connection Agreement provides
for the payment of incentive compensation upon satisfaction of certain performance goals. The incentives are defined in the ASA Delta Connection Agreement as being measured and determined on a monthly
and quarterly basis. At the end of each quarter, the Company calculates the incentives achieved during the quarter and recognizes revenue accordingly. The parties to the Delta Connection Agreements
make customary representations, warranties and covenants, including with respect to various operational, marketing and administrative matters. </FONT></P>

Additionally, SkyWest Airlines is eligible for incentive compensation upon the achievement of certain performance criteria. The incentives are defined in the United Express Agreement as being measured

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SkyWest
Airlines and Midwest are parties to an Airlines Services Agreement entered into on December&nbsp;20, 2006. Under the terms of the Midwest Services Agreement, SkyWest Airlines
has agreed to operate up to 25 Bombardier CRJ200s under Midwest's code. In exchange for SkyWest Airlines' obligation to provide the designated number of flights and performing other obligations under
the Midwest Services Agreement, Midwest has agreed to pay SkyWest Airlines on a weekly basis a fixed-fee per completed block hour, fixed-fee per completed departure, a
fixed-fee for overhead, and a reimbursement of certain direct costs when a new aircraft is delivered. The Midwest Services Agreement provides for incentives or penalties based upon SkyWest
Airlines' performance, including on-time arrival performance and completion percentage rates. Additionally, Midwest has agreed to reimburse certain of SkyWest Airlines' operating costs,
including costs related to fuel, landing fees, and catering. In June 2008, SkyWest Airlines was notified that Midwest was in the process of organizing a financial restructuring. SkyWest Airlines
subsequently reached agreement with Midwest to reduce the number of aircraft operating under the Midwest Services Agreement from 21 aircraft to 12 aircraft. As part of the modified terms, SkyWest
Airlines agreed to defer a portion of Midwest's weekly payment obligations from July&nbsp;1, 2008 through November&nbsp;30, 2008. The amount SkyWest Airlines agreed to defer plus certain amounts
Midwest owed to SkyWest Airlines at June&nbsp;30, 2008, will be payable, with interest by Midwest in four equal quarterly payments starting on August&nbsp;31, 2009. The total amount SkyWest
Airlines has agreed to defer through November&nbsp;30, 2008 is $9.0&nbsp;million. Because of the unique modified payment terms associated with the deferred amounts, the Company did not recognize
the revenue associated with the deferred payments in the Company's consolidated statements of income for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under
the Company's revenue agreements with Delta, United and Midwest, the Company earns revenue for an amount per aircraft designed to reimburse the Company for certain aircraft
ownership costs. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No.&nbsp;01-08, </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>
("EITF&nbsp;01-08"), the Company has concluded that a component of its revenue under these agreements is rental income, inasmuch as the Agreements identify the "right of use" of a
specific type and number of aircraft over a stated period of time. The amounts deemed to be rental income under the agreements for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were
$496.5&nbsp;million, $516.9&nbsp;million and $486.6&nbsp;million, respectively. These amounts were recorded as passenger revenue on the Company's consolidated statements of income. Under the
SkyWest&nbsp;Inc. Delta Connection Agreement, the SkyWest Airlines United Express Agreement and the Midwest Airlines Services Agreement, the Company receives a reimbursement for direct
start-up costs for each additional aircraft placed into service. The start-up reimbursement is applicable to incremental costs specific to placing each additional aircraft into
service. The Company recognizes the revenue associated with these reimbursement payments once the aircraft is placed into service. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> (1) Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company's passenger and ground handling revenues could be impacted by a number of factors, including changes to the Company's code-share agreements with Delta, United or
Midwest, contract modifications resulting from contract re-negotiations, the Company's ability to earn incentive payments contemplated under the Company's code-share agreements
and Midwest's proposed financial restructuring and reimbursement disputes with our major partners. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Deferred Aircraft Credits  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company accounts for incentives provided by aircraft manufacturers as deferred credits. The deferred credits related to leased
aircraft are amortized on a straight-line basis as a reduction to rent expense over the lease term. Credits related to owned aircraft reduce the purchase price of the aircraft, which has
the effect of amortizing the credits on a straight-line basis as a reduction in depreciation expense over the life of the related aircraft. The incentives are credits that may be used to
purchase spare parts and pay for training and other expenses. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Income Taxes  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company recognizes a liability or asset for the deferred tax consequences of all temporary differences between the tax basis of
assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years when the reported amounts of the assets and
liabilities are recovered or settled. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Net Income Per Common Share  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Basic net income per common share ("Basic EPS") excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share ("Diluted EPS") reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options or other contracts to issue common
stock were exercised or converted into common stock. The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume exercise or conversion of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on net
income per common share. During the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, 3,665,000, 529,000 and 1,219,000 shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options were
excluded from the computation of Diluted EPS respectively, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
calculation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for Basic EPS and Diluted EPS are as follows for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 (in
thousands): </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Fair Value of Financial Instruments  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and accounts payable approximate fair values because
of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Marketable securities are reported at fair value based on market quoted prices in the consolidated balance sheets.
However, due to recent events in credit markets, the auction events for some of these instruments held by the Company failed during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008. Therefore, quoted prices in
active markets are no longer available and the Company has estimated the fair values of these securities utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis as of December&nbsp;31, 2008. These analyses
consider, among other items, the collateralization underlying the security investments, the creditworthiness of the counterparty, the timing of expected future cash flows, and the expectation of the
next time the security is expected to have a successful auction. The fair value of the Company's long-term debt is estimated based on current rates offered to the Company for similar debt
and approximates $1,913.5&nbsp;million as of December&nbsp;31, 2008, as compared to the carrying amount of $1,811.5&nbsp;million as of December&nbsp;31, 2008. The Company's fair value of
long-term debt as of December&nbsp;31, 2007 was $1,838.6&nbsp;million as compared to the carrying amount of $1,851.0&nbsp;million as of December&nbsp;31, 2007. </FONT></P>

Interpretation No.&nbsp;46 ("FIN&nbsp;46"), </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, requires the consolidation of variable
interest entities. The majority of the Company's leased aircraft are owned and leased through trusts whose sole purpose is to purchase, finance and lease these aircraft to the Company; therefore, they
meet the criteria of a variable interest entity. However, since these are single owner trusts in which the Company does not participate, the Company is not considered at risk for losses and is not
considered the primary beneficiary. As a result, based on the current rules, the Company is not required to consolidate any of these trusts or any other entities in applying FIN&nbsp;46. Management
believes that the Company's maximum exposure under these leases is the remaining lease payments. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total
rental expense for non-cancelable aircraft operating leases was approximately $295.8&nbsp;million, $294.4&nbsp;million and $281.5&nbsp;million for the years ended
December&nbsp;31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The minimum rental expense for airport station rents was approximately $59.4&nbsp;million, $61.7&nbsp;million and $50.3&nbsp;million for

ownership of the respective leased aircraft. The terms of these contracts range up to 17&nbsp;years. The Company did not accrue any liability relating to the indemnification to the equity/owner

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On October&nbsp;12, 2007, the Company announced that SkyWest Airlines plans to acquire 22 additional regional jet aircraft through
2010, 18 of which SkyWest Airlines intends to operate for United Express as part of an aircraft transition plan, which will allow United Express to remove 23 30-seat Brasilia turboprops
from the contract reimbursement model contemplated by the United Express Agreement and add 66-seat regional jet aircraft for United Express. Generally, the turboprop removals under the
United Express Agreement are intended to occur in conjunction with deliveries of new regional jet aircraft in order to facilitate a smooth transition in existing markets. Additionally, SkyWest
Airlines intends to exchange four CRJ200s for four CRJ900s in its Delta Connection operations. These four CRJ200s are scheduled to be placed into service under other capacity purchase agreements. On
November&nbsp;30, 2007, the Company announced that it placed a firm order with Bombardier for the 22 new aircraft. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company took delivery of three CRJ900s. The
Company is scheduled to take delivery of the remaining aircraft during 2009 and the first quarter of 2010. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
January&nbsp;9, 2009, the Company announced that ASA has reached an agreement with Delta to operate an additional ten CRJ900 regional jet aircraft. The aircraft were previously
ordered by Delta and are now being contracted for flying with ASA. The Company expects to acquire these aircraft under sublease arrangements with Delta at nominal monthly amounts. ASA expects to take
delivery of these aircraft between February and May 2009. The aircraft will serve as replacements for 20, 50-seat CRJ200s that are scheduled for removal from contract service between April
2010 and August 2010, which is earlier than the existing scheduled termination dates as contained in the Delta Connection Agreement. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Additionally,
the Company's agreement with Bombardier includes options for another 22 aircraft that can be delivered in either 70 or 90-seat configurations. Delivery dates
for these aircraft remain subject to final determination as we agree upon with our major partners. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> ASA and SkyWest Airlines v. Delta Air Lines  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During the quarter ended December&nbsp;31, 2007, Delta notified the Company, SkyWest Airlines and ASA of a dispute under the Delta
Connection Agreements executed by Delta with SkyWest Airlines and ASA. The dispute relates to allocation of liability for certain irregular operations ("IROP") expenses that are paid by SkyWest
Airlines and ASA to their passengers under certain situations. As a result, Delta withheld a combined total of approximately $25&nbsp;million (pretax) from one of the weekly scheduled wire payments
to SkyWest and ASA during December 2007. Delta continues to withhold a portion of the funds the Company believes are payable as weekly scheduled wire payments to SkyWest and ASA. As of
December&nbsp;31, 2008, the Company had recognized a cumulative total of $32.4&nbsp;million of revenue associated with the funds withheld by Delta. On February&nbsp;1, 2008, SkyWest Airlines and
ASA filed a lawsuit in Georgia state court disputing Delta's treatment of the matter (the "Complaint"). Delta filed an Answer to the Complaint and a Counterclaim against SkyWest Airlines and ASA on
March&nbsp;24, 2008. Delta's Counterclaim alleges that ASA and SkyWest Airlines breached the Delta Connection Agreements by invoicing Delta for the IROP expenses that were paid pursuant to Delta's
policies, and claims only a portion of those expenses may be invoiced to Delta. Delta seeks unspecified damages in its Counterclaim. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
March&nbsp;24, 2008, Delta also filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint. A hearing on the Motion was held June&nbsp;5, 2008. In an order entered June&nbsp;13, 2008, the Court
granted in part and denied in part the Motion to Dismiss. The Court denied the Motion to Dismiss with respect to the breach of contract claim contained in the Complaint. The Court denied in part the
Motion to Dismiss with respect to the action for declaratory judgment contained in the Complaint, and granted in part the Motion to Dismiss to the extent the Complaint seeks to read alternative or
supplemental obligations created by prior conduct into the Connection Agreements. The Court granted the Motion to Dismiss with respect to claims for estoppel, unilateral mistake, and mutual mistake
contained in the Complaint. SkyWest Airlines and ASA currently intend to vigorously pursue their claims set forth in the Complaint, to the
extent permitted by the Court's ruling on the Motion to Dismiss, and their defenses to Delta's counterclaims. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company has evaluated the Delta dispute in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;5, </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Accounting for Contingencies</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> ("SFAS
No.5"). Based on the provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;5, an estimated loss is accrued if the loss is probable and reasonably estimable. Because these conditions have not been satisfied, the Company has
not recorded a loss related to the preceding dispute in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of December&nbsp;31, 2008. </FONT></P>

Company anticipates that such efforts will continue in the future. During 2007, SkyWest Airlines' pilots voted against a resolution to join an officially recognized union. Under governing rules,
SkyWest Airlines' pilots may vote again on this issue in one year from the previous vote. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
of December&nbsp;31, 2008, the Company held certain assets that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company has invested in auction rate security
instruments, which are classified as available for sale securities and reflected at fair value. However, due to recent events in credit markets, the auction events for some of these instruments held
by the Company failed during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008. Therefore, quoted prices in active markets are no longer available and the Company has estimated the fair values of these
securities utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis as of December&nbsp;31, 2008. These analyses consider, among other items, the collateralization underlying the security investments, the
creditworthiness of the counterparty, the timing of expected future cash flows, and the expectation of the next time the security is expected to have a successful auction. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
of December&nbsp;31, 2008, the Company owned $4.7&nbsp;million of auction rate security instruments. The majority of the auction rate security instruments held by the Company at
December&nbsp;31, 2008 were tax-exempt municipal bond investments, for which the market has experienced some successful auctions. For the securities that have announced call dates
(approximately $2.5&nbsp;million), the Company has classified these investments as current and has identified them as "Marketable securities" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of
December&nbsp;31, 2008. For the securities that have not announced a call date (approximately $2.2&nbsp;million), the Company has classified the investments as noncurrent and has identified them
as "Other assets" in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December&nbsp;31, 2008. The Company has classified these securities as non current due to the Company's belief that the market for these
securities may take in excess of twelve months to fully recover. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, the Company continued to earn interest on all of its auction rate security instruments. Any future
fluctuations in fair value related to these instruments that the Company deems to be temporary, including any recoveries of previous write-downs, would be recorded to accumulated other comprehensive
income. If the Company determines that any future valuation adjustment was other than temporary, it intends to record a charge to earnings as appropriate. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On September&nbsp;4, 2008, the Company announced its intention to acquire a 20% interest in Brazilian regional airline, Trip Linhas Aereas ("Trip"), for $30&nbsp;million. As of
December&nbsp;31, 2008, the Company made an investment of $5&nbsp;million for a 6.7% interest in Trip, which is recorded as "Other assets" on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. If Trip
meets or exceeds certain financial targets, the Company is scheduled to make an additional $15&nbsp;million investment on March&nbsp;1, 2009 and another $10&nbsp;million investment on
March&nbsp;1, 2010. The Company accounts for its interest in Trip using the equity method of accounting. The Company records its equity in Trip's earnings on a one-quarter lag. As of
December&nbsp;31, 2008, the Company's allocated portion of Trip's earnings since the time of its initial investment was not material. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series without shareholder approval. No shares of
preferred stock are presently outstanding. The Company's Board of Directors is authorized, without any further action by the stockholders of the Company, to (i)&nbsp;divide the preferred stock into
series; (ii)&nbsp;designate each such series; (iii)&nbsp;fix and determine dividend rights; (iv)&nbsp;determine the price, terms and conditions on which shares of preferred stock may be
redeemed; (v)&nbsp;determine the amount payable to holders of preferred stock in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation; (vi)&nbsp;determine any sinking fund provisions; and
(vii)&nbsp;establish any conversion privileges. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Stock Compensation  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Effective January&nbsp;1, 2001, the Company adopted two stock option plans: the Executive Stock Incentive Plan (the "Executive Plan")
and the 2001 Allshare Stock Option Plan (the "Allshare Plan"). These plans replaced the Company's Combined Incentive and Non-Statutory Stock Option Plans (the "Prior Plans"). There are no
additional shares of common stock available for issuance under these plans. However, as of December&nbsp;31, 2008, options to purchase approximately 436,000 shares of the Company's common stock
remained outstanding under the Prior Plans and 3,114,283 shares of the Company's common stock remained outstanding under the Executive Plan and the Allshare Plan. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
May&nbsp;2, 2006, the Company's shareholders approved the adoption of the SkyWest&nbsp;Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan, which provides for the issuance of up to
6,000,000 shares of common stock to the Company's directors, employees, consultants and advisors (the "2006 Incentive Plan"). The 2006 Incentive Plan provides for awards in the form of options to
acquire shares of common stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock grants and performance awards. The 2006 Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board
of Directors (the "Compensation Committee") who is authorized to designate option grants as either incentive or non-statutory. Incentive stock options are granted at not less than 100% of
the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Non-statutory stock options are granted at a price as determined by the Compensation Committee. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Effective
January&nbsp;1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;123(R), using the modified-prospective transition method. Under the
modified-prospective transition method, compensation cost recognized during the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 includes compensation cost for all share-based payments granted to,
but not yet vested as of January&nbsp;1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;123. Results for prior periods have not been
restated. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
fair value of stock options has been estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercises and
employee termination in the option pricing model. The expected term of options granted is derived from the output of the option pricing model and represents the period of time that options granted are
expected to be outstanding. The expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company's traded stock and other factors. During the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, the
Company granted 357,716 stock options to employees under the 2006 Incentive Plan. The following table shows the </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A portion of the Company's granted options qualify as incentive stock options (ISO) for income tax purposes. As such, a tax benefit is
not recorded at the time the compensation cost related to the options is recorded for book purposes due to the fact that an ISO does not ordinarily result in a tax benefit unless there is a
disqualifying disposition. Stock option grants of non-qualified options result in the creation of a deferred tax asset, which is a temporary difference, until the time that the option is
exercised. Due to the treatment of incentive stock options for tax purposes, the Company's effective tax rate from year to year is subject to variability. </FONT></P>

100% of such contributions up to 2%, 4% or 6% of the individual participant's compensation, based upon length of service. Additionally, a discretionary contribution may be made by the Company. The
Company's combined contributions to the SkyWest Plan were $9.3&nbsp;million, $9.0&nbsp;million and $7.2&nbsp;million for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. </FONT></P>

the individual participant's contributions from 20% to 75%, depending on the length of the participant's service. ASA's contribution to the ASA Plan was $4.6&nbsp;million, $4.0&nbsp;million and

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In February 1996, the Company's Board of Directors approved the SkyWest,&nbsp;Inc. 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Stock
Purchase Plan"). All employees who have completed 90&nbsp;days of employment are eligible to participate, except employees who own five percent or more of the Company's common stock. The Stock
Purchase Plan enables employees to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at a 15% discount, through payroll deductions. Employees can contribute up to 15% of their base pay, not to exceed
$21,250 each calendar year, for the purchase of shares. Shares are purchased semi-annually at a 15% discount based on the lower of the beginning or the end of the period price. Employees
can terminate their participation in the Stock Purchase Plan at anytime upon written notice. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule&nbsp;13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"), within 90&nbsp;days of the filing date of this Report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them on a timely basis to material information required to be included in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act. There have
been no other significant changes (including corrective actions with regard to material weaknesses) in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls
subsequent to the date of the evaluation referenced above. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in
Rule&nbsp;13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial
reporting includes those written policies and procedures that: </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Internal
control over financial reporting includes the controls themselves, monitoring and internal auditing practices and actions taken to correct deficiencies as identified. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
management assessed the effectiveness our internal control over financial reporting as of December&nbsp;31, 2008. Our management's assessment was based on criteria for effective
internal control over financial reporting described in "Internal Control&#151;Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Our

Board of Directors and Stockholders<BR>
SkyWest,&nbsp;Inc. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have audited SkyWest,&nbsp;Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting as of December&nbsp;31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control&#151;Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). SkyWest,&nbsp;Inc.'s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal
control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control
over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and
performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A
company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures
that (1)&nbsp;pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2)&nbsp;provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3)&nbsp;provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
our opinion, SkyWest,&nbsp;Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December&nbsp;31, 2008, based on the COSO criteria. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of SkyWest,&nbsp;Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 of SkyWest,&nbsp;Inc. and subsidiaries and our report dated February&nbsp;20, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. </FONT></P>

SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Restatement</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SkyWest,&nbsp;Inc. (the "Company") hereby amends and restates the SkyWest,&nbsp;Inc. 2002
Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), effective January&nbsp;1, 2008. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.2</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Application and Grandfathered Accounts</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This amendment and restatement applies only to: (i)&nbsp;amounts
deferred under the Plan on or after January&nbsp;1, 2005, (ii)&nbsp;amounts deferred under the Plan prior to January&nbsp;1, 2005 that were not vested as of December&nbsp;31, 2004, and
(iii)&nbsp;amounts deferred under the Plan prior to January&nbsp;1, 2005 as to which the Plan is "materially modified" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
Section&nbsp;1.409A-6(a) after October&nbsp;3, 2004. Amounts deferred under the Plan prior to January&nbsp;1, 2005 that were vested as of December&nbsp;31, 2004 and as to which the
Plan was not materially modified after October&nbsp;3, 2004, plus all pre- and post-January&nbsp;1, 2005 Earnings thereon, (collectively the "Grandfathered Accounts") shall
be subject to the provisions of the Plan as in effect on October&nbsp;3, 2004, as the same may be amended from time to time by the Company without material modification, it being expressly intended
that such Grandfathered Accounts
are to remain exempt from the requirements of Code Section&nbsp;409A. Certain provisions of the Plan applicable to Grandfathered Accounts are reflected in this document for ease of reference. </FONT></P>

SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Purpose</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The purpose of this amendment and restatement is to comply with the requirements of Code
Section&nbsp;409A as clarified in the final regulations thereunder, and to reformat the document. The purpose of the Plan continues to be to attract and retain key employees by providing each
Participant with an opportunity to defer receipt of a portion of their salary, bonus, and other specified compensation. The Plan is not intended to meet the qualification requirements of Code
Section&nbsp;401(a), but except with respect to Grandfathered Accounts is intended to meet the requirements of Code Section&nbsp;409A, and shall be operated and interpreted consistent with that
intent. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Plan constitutes an unsecured promise by a Participating Employer to pay benefits in the future. Participants in the Plan shall have the status of general unsecured creditors of the
Company or the Adopting Employer, as applicable. Each Participating Employer shall be solely responsible for payment of the benefits of its employees and their beneficiaries. The Plan is unfunded for
Federal tax purposes and is intended to be an unfunded arrangement for eligible employees who are part of a select group of management or highly compensated employees of the Employer within the
meaning of Sections&nbsp;201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA. Any amounts set aside to defray the liabilities assumed by the Company or an Adopting Employer will remain the general assets of
the Company or the Adopting Employer and shall remain subject to the claims of the Company's or the Adopting Employer's creditors until such amounts are distributed to the Participants. </FONT></P>

than the full number of Shares covered by a related Option, then an exercise or termination of such Option shall not reduce the number of Shares to which the Tandem Stock Appreciation Right applies

as a result of (a)&nbsp;the grant of any Award, (b)&nbsp;the exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, (c)&nbsp;the delivery of Shares or cash, (d)&nbsp;the lapse of any restrictions
in connection with any Award or (e)&nbsp;any other event occurring pursuant to the Plan. The Company or any Subsidiary shall have the right to withhold from wages or other amounts otherwise payable
to such Payee such withholding taxes as may be required by law, or to otherwise require the Payee to pay such withholding taxes. If the Payee shall fail to make such tax payments as are required, the
Company or its Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to such Payee or to take such other action as may
be necessary to satisfy such withholding obligations. The Committee shall be authorized to establish procedures for election by Participants to satisfy such obligation for the payment of such taxes by
tendering previously acquired Shares (either actually or by attestation, valued at their then Fair Market Value) that have been owned for a period of at least six months (or such other period to avoid
accounting charges against the Company's earnings), or by directing the Company to retain Shares (up to the Participant's minimum required tax withholding rate or such other rate that will not trigger
a negative accounting impact) otherwise deliverable in connection with the Award. </FONT></P>

Subsidiary may have to terminate the employment or service of (or to demote or to exclude from future Awards under the Plan) any such Employee or Director at any time for any reason "at will." Except
as specifically provided by the Committee, the Company shall not be liable for the loss of existing or potential profit from an Award granted in the event of termination of an employment or other

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE SKYWEST,&nbsp;INC. 2006 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN (this "Amendment") is made and adopted this
1st&nbsp;day of May, 2007, by SkyWest,&nbsp;Inc. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WHEREAS,
SkyWest,&nbsp;Inc. (the "Company") maintains the SkyWest,&nbsp;Inc. 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan") for the benefit of its employees and the employees
of its participating subsidiaries; and </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WHEREAS,
it is necessary and desirable to amend the Plan to clarify the definition of "Fair Market Value" at which the exercise price of options may be set and to require that in the
event of a stock dividend, stock split, or reverse stock split, the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan and all outstanding awards under the Plan be proportionately adjusted to
reflect the effect of such event; and </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WHEREAS,
the Company, acting through its Board of Directors (the "Board"), has reserved the right to amend the Plan at any time and from time to time; and </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WHEREAS,
the Board has approved and adopted this Amendment. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NOW,
THEREFORE, the Plan is hereby amended as follows: </FONT></P>

<UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
second sentence of Section&nbsp;2.11 of the Plan is amended effective May&nbsp;2, 2006 to read as follows: </FONT></P>

<UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>"The
Fair Market Value of Shares as of any date shall be the closing trading price of the Shares as reported on the NASDAQ Stock Market on that date (or if there were no reported prices on such date,
on the last preceding date on which the closing Share price was reported), or, if the Company is not then listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market, on such other principal securities exchange on which the
Shares are traded, and if the Company is not listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market or any other securities exchange, the Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion using appropriate criteria." </FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;12.2
of the Plan is amended effective May&nbsp;1, 2007 to read as follows: </FONT></P>

<UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>"12.2.&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><I>Adjustments</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If the outstanding Shares or other securities of the Company subject to Awards shall at any time be changed or
exchanged by declaration of a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination of shares, extraordinary dividend of cash or assets, recapitalization, reorganization or any similar equity
restructuring transaction (as that term is used in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;123(R)) affecting the Shares or such securities , the Committee shall equitably adjust the
number and kind of Shares or other securities issuable under the Plan, the Limitations, the remaining maximum number of Shares or other securities that may be issued as "incentive stock options" under
the Plan, and the number of Shares or other securities underlying, and exercise price of, all outstanding Awards so as to maintain the proportionate number of Shares or other securities subject to
such outstanding Awards without changing the aggregate exercise or settlement price of such Awards, if any. No right to acquire a fractional share shall result, however, from any adjustment of Options
or Stock Appreciation Rights. In the case of any such adjustment, the number of shares subject to Options or Stock Appreciation Rights shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. In applying any
Limitation adjusted hereunder, Shares and Awards issued prior to the adjustment shall count against the adjusted Limitation on a post-split adjusted basis." </FONT></P>
