           This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D (this "Schedule 13D") relates to
the common stock (the "SkyWest Common Stock") of SkyWest, Inc., a Utah
corporation ("SkyWest"), and is being filed on behalf of Delta Air Lines, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation, and New Sky, Ltd., a Bermuda corporation ("New Sky"), to

ITEM 3     SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

           Item 3 is hereby amended by adding the following information:
