<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The SkyWest InFlight Association (SIA) is a SkyWest-sponsored organization,
yet it is the sole bargaining representative for the Company&rsquo;s flight attendants.<SUP>2</SUP> Per SkyWest, there are no employees
currently represented by an outside union.<SUP>3</SUP> SkyWest has allegedly sponsored &ldquo;pop-up parties&rdquo; in crew room areas,
offering food while distributing anti-union literature. Management has also allegedly placed anti-union literature and posters on walls,
bulletin boards, and next to employees&rsquo; work areas.<SUP>4</SUP> Safety training managers have also allegedly included anti-union
rhetoric, posters, and literature in their sessions.<SUP>5</SUP> It is believed that management has informed SkyWest flight attendants
that they cannot discuss unions or share union literature in crew rooms, including non-work areas. There have also been reports of SkyWest
calling airport police to threaten to eject flight attendants from the airport for talking with colleagues about unionizing.<SUP>6</SUP></P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">SkyWest&rsquo;s anti-union activities are garnering negative attention.
Bernie Sanders has tweeted, &ldquo;Creating company unions are an illegal union busting tactic,&rdquo; and that SkyWest should &ldquo;Follow
the law!&rdquo;<SUP>7</SUP> According to a survey conducted by Marketing Brew and Harris Poll, 42% of Americans reported that they are
less likely to shop at a company that attempts to stop its employees from unionizing and 41% of Americans reported the same of a company
with a union on strike.<SUP>8</SUP> A 2024 Gallup poll found that 70% of Americans approve of labor unions, up from 67% the year before.<SUP>9</SUP>
This marks the second-highest approval rating in over 60 years. The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organization
(AFL-CIO) also found that 71% of Americans support unions, with that support increasing within younger generations, with 88% of voters
under 30 supporting unions.<SUP>10</SUP></P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Association of Flight Attendants (AFA-CWA) filed a lawsuit against
SkyWest in October 2023. The U.S. Department of Labor has also alleged that SIA, acting as &ldquo;company union,&rdquo; did not perform
its legal obligation as a labor representative when it barred two employees from running in an election for SIA leadership positions due
to their support for an independent union at the company.<SUP>11</SUP></P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Company has also allegedly fired two flight attendants who were
seeking to organize a labor campaign to have union representation independent of SkyWest&rsquo;s management. One of these flight attendants
was with SkyWest for 24 years prior to her termination which was approximately two years after she began contributing to the union organizing
drive. SkyWest denies allegations that the firings were retaliatory.<SUP>12</SUP></P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Independent research has shown that the presence of unions correlates
positively with low turnover, improved diversity, investment in training, and low levels of legal and regulatory violations.<SUP>13</SUP></P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">In opposition to this proposal, SkyWest states that &ldquo;the policy
required by this proposal would negatively impact SkyWest&rsquo;s positive relationship with our people by stifling communication between
the Company and the very employees that the policy seeks to protect.&rdquo; The adoption of a non-interference policy does not prevent
SkyWest from communicating to employees the ways in which it is a preferred employer. The company&rsquo;s response to employees interested
in unionization, however, may undermine the trust relationship these employees should have with their employer.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>A comprehensive labor rights policy can help SkyWest standardize

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">SkyWest used to state, in its online document entitled &ldquo;Our Commitment
to Human Rights,&rdquo; its support for a range of labor rights standards including the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and
Rights at Work; the core Conventions of the ILO; the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs); the OECD Guidelines for
Multinational Enterprises; and the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights.<SUP>13 </SUP>However, references to these standards have
been removed,<SUP>14</SUP> suggesting a distancing of the Company from labor rights.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The shareholder proposal&rsquo;s request for a Non-Interference and
Collective Bargaining Policy (the Policy) conforms with the international standards laid out in the ILO International Labour Organization&rsquo;s
(ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. The Policy would help define the Company&rsquo;s commitment to respect
employees&rsquo; freedom of association and collective bargaining rights.&nbsp;&nbsp;</P>
