Footnote F: Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements The 2011 Southwest Airlines One Report™ contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are based on, and include statements about, the Company’s estimates, expectations, beliefs, intentions, and strategies for the future, and are not guarantees of future performance. Specific forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and include, without limitation, statements related to (i) the Company’s strategic initiatives and the expected impact of the initiatives on the Company’s results of operations and its customer experience, offerings, and benefits; (ii) the Company’s financial outlook and targets; (iii) the Company’s growth plans and expectations, including fleet, capacity, and network plans, initiatives, and expectations; (iv) the Company’s plans and expec- tations with respect to its acquisition of AirTran, including without limitation anticipated integration timeframes and anticipated costs and benefits associated with the acquisition; and (v) the Company’s plans, initiatives, and expectations related to sustainability. Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors that are difficult to predict and that could cause actual results to vary materially from those expressed in or indicated by them. Factors include, among others, (i) changes in the price of aircraft fuel, the impact of hedge accounting, and any changes to the Company’s fuel hedging strategies and positions; (ii) the impact of the economy on demand for the Company’s services and the impact of fuel prices, economic conditions, and actions of competitors on the Company’s business decisions, plans, and strategies; (iii) the Company’s ability to successfully integrate AirTran and realize the expected synergies and other benefits from the acquisition; (iv) the Company’s ability to timely and effectively implement, transition, and maintain the necessary information technology systems and infrastructure to support its operations and initiatives; (v) the Company’s ability to timely and effectively prioritize its strategic initiatives and related expenditures; (vi) the Company’s dependence on third parties with respect to certain of its initiatives; (vii) the impact of governmental and other regulation related to the Company’s operations; (viii) the Company’s ability to maintain positive relations with employees and employee representatives and to timely and effectively address collective bargaining agreements; and (ix) other factors, as described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the detailed factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2011. Footnote G: Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). These GAAP financial statements include (i) unrealized non-cash adjustments and reclassifications, which can be significant, as a result of accounting requirements and elections made under accounting pronouncements relating to derivative instruments and hedging, and (ii) other charges the Company believes are not indicative of its ongoing operational performance. As a result, the Company also provides financial information in this report that was not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alterna- tive to the information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company provides supplemental non-GAAP financial information, including results that it refers to as “economic,” which the Company’s management utilizes to evaluate its ongoing financial performance and the Company believes provides greater transparency to investors as supplemental information to its GAAP results. The Company’s economic financial results differ from GAAP results in that they only include the actual cash settle- ments from fuel hedge contracts—all reflected within fuel and oil expense in the period of settlement. Thus, fuel and oil expense on an economic basis reflects the Company’s actual net cash outlays for fuel during the applicable period, inclusive of settled fuel derivative contracts. Any net premium costs paid related to option contracts are reflected as a component of other (gains) losses, net, for both GAAP and non-GAAP (including “economic”) purposes in the period of contract settle- ment. These economic results provide a better measure of the impact of the Company’s fuel hedges on its operating performance and liquidity since they exclude the unrealized, non-cash adjustments and reclassifications that are recorded in GAAP results in accordance with accounting guidance relating to derivative instruments, and they reflect all cash settlements related to fuel derivative contracts within fuel and oil expense. This enables the Company’s management, as well as investors, to consistently assess the Company’s operating performance on a year-over-year or quarter-over-quarter basis after considering all efforts in place to manage fuel expense. However, because these measures are not determined in accordance with GAAP, such measures are susceptible to varying calculations and not all companies calculate the measures in the same manner. As a result, the aforementioned measures, as presented, may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Further information on (i) the Company’s fuel hedging program, (ii) the requirements and accounting associated with accounting for derivative instruments, and (iii) the causes of hedge ineffectiveness and/or mark-to-market gains or losses from derivative instruments is included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2011, as well as subsequent quarterly filings. In addition to its “economic” financial measures, as defined above, the Company has also provided other non-GAAP financial measures as a result of items that the Company believes are not indicative of its ongoing operations. These include 1) a 2011 charge for an asset impairment related to the Company’s decision not to equip its Classic (737-300/500) aircraft with Required Navigation Performance (RNP) capabilities; 2) 2010 and 2011 charges associated with the Company’s acquisition and integration of AirTran; 3) a one-time third quarter 2009 charge associated with Freedom ’09, an early retirement option offered to Employees; 4) a first quarter 2008 adjustment to the Company’s income tax provision due to a change in Illinois state income tax laws; 5) a third quarter 2007 charge related to the Company’s voluntary early-out program; and 6) a third quarter 2007 charge from a change in the Illinois state income tax law resulting in an increase in state income taxes, which increase was subsequently reversed in first quarter 2008 due to the reversal of the August 2007 state income tax law change. The Company believes that evaluation of its finan- cial performance can be enhanced by a presentation of results that exclude the impact of these items in order to evaluate the results on a comparative basis with results in prior periods that do not include such items and as a basis for evaluating operating results in future periods.

The committee had reviewed the general experience of the U.S. airline in- dustry during the more than a dozen years since legislation ended gov- ernment economic regulation of entry, pricing, and ticket distribution in the domestic market.1 The committee examined issues ranging from passenger fares and service in small communities to aviation safety and the federal government’s performance in accommodating the escalating demands on air traffic control. At the time, it was still being debated whether airline deregulation was favorable to consumers. Once viewed as contrary to the public interest,2 the vigorous airline competition 1 The Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 was preceded by market-oriented administra- tive reforms adopted by the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) beginning in 1975. 2 Congress adopted the public utility form of regulation for the airline industry when it created CAB, partly out of concern that the small scale of the industry and number of willing entrants would lead to excessive competition and capacity, ultimately having neg- ative effects on service and perhaps leading to monopolies and having adverse effects on consumers in the end (Levine 1965; Meyer et al. 1959). 15 9310-01 Chapter 1 10/12/99 14:48 Page 16 16 ENTRY AND COMPETITION IN THE U.S. AIRLINE INDUSTRY spurred by deregulation now is commonly credited with generating large and lasting public benefits.

Reports Combined November 2017 Traffic for SkyWest Airlines and ExpressJet Airlines ST. GEORGE, UTAH, Dec. 11, 2017 -- SkyWest, Inc., (NASDAQ: SKYW) (“SkyWest”) today reported 144,180 block hours in November 2017, compared to 148,707 block hours in November 2016, a decrease of 4,527 or 3.0%. The net decrease was consistent with SkyWest’s fleet transition plan to improve the mix of aircraft in its fleet by adding new E175 aircraft, while reducing its 50-seat jets. The year-over-year net change was primarily driven by approximately 9,900 additional block hours from its E175 aircraft and a decrease of approximately 14,400 block hours from its other aircraft types. In November 2017, SkyWest’s dual class aircraft represented approximately 53% of SkyWest’s total block hour production for the month compared to approximately 44% for the month of November 2016. SkyWest reported 1,688,342 block hours for year-to-date November 2017, compared to 1,781,704 block hours year-to-date November 2016, a decrease of 93,362, or 5.2%. This net change was primarily driven by approximately 139,200 additional block hours from its E175 aircraft and a decrease of approximately 232,500 block hours from its other aircraft types. SkyWest had 84,151 departures in November 2017 compared to 88,485 in November 2016, a decrease of 4,334, or 4.9%. Additional flight statistics for November are included in the accompanying table.

    Massachusetts Institute of Technology Flight Transportation Laboratory Report FTL-R79-5 A SYSTEMS ANALYSIS OF SCHEDULED AIR TRANSPORTATION NETWORKS William M. Swan June 1979 FLIGHT TRANSPORTATION LABORATORY REPORT R79-5 A SYSTEM ANALYSIS OF SCHEDULED AIR TRANSPORTATION NETWORKS BY: WILLIAM M. SWAN - 1" 11 M- - ABSTRACT This work establishes the conditions for airline system design building from submodels of smaller aspects of air transportation. The first three sections develop submodels which then are combined in extensive numerical studies of singles market services. The final section discusses the changes to this problem that occur due to network effects. The first section develops a simple model of the cost of providing scheduled transportation on a link. The cost of aircraft of various capacities are divided into a per-frequency cost and a per-capacity cost for conventional subsonic turbojet designs. This cost structure implies that the more capacity provided in conjunction with a fixed schedule of departures the lower the average cost per seat. It is suggested that such aircraft scale economies create a trend toward monopoly or at least oligopoly services. The second section develops a model for demand. The market for transportation is argued to be the city pair. Demand for scheduled service is expressed in terms of fare, frequency and load factor. Fare, frequency, and load factor are combined into total perceived price for the service. This price depends on the consumer's personal value of time. With only a few competitors in aich a market, only a few of the tech- nically possible qualities of service will be offered.

    Essays on Strategic Behavior in the U.S. Airline Industry

    Essays on Strategic Behavior in the U.S. Airline Industry Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kerria Measkhan Tan, B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Economics The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Matthew Lewis, Advisor James Peck Huanxing Yang c Copyright by Kerria Measkhan Tan 2012 Abstract In my first dissertation essay, \Incumbent Response to Entry by Low-Cost Carri- ers in the U.S. Airline Industry," I analyze the price response of incumbents to entry by low-cost carriers in the U.S. airline industry. Previous theoretical papers suggest that airlines might respond to entry by lowering prices to compete harder for existing customers or they might increase prices to exploit their brand-loyal customers. This paper tests which effect is more prominent in the airline industry. I find that when one of four low-cost carriers enters a particular route, legacy carrier incumbents respond differently than low-cost carrier incumbents to new low-cost carrier entry. Legacy carriers decrease their mean airfare, 10th percentile airfare, and 90th percentile air- fare before and after entry by a low-cost carrier. However, low-cost carriers do not significantly alter their pricing strategy. The differing incumbent responses can be attributed to the finding that low-cost carrier entrants tend to match the price set by rival low-cost carriers in the quarter of entry and tend to enter with a lower price than that of legacy carrier incumbents. The results also suggest that entry does not affect price dispersion by incumbent carriers.
