litigation and is not reasonably assured. As of December 31, 2013, we had recognized a cumulative
total of $31.7 million of revenue associated with the funds withheld by Delta.
After proceedings that included contested motions, document discovery, and depositions, Delta
voluntarily dismissed its Counterclaim. Discovery in that action was not complete at the time of
dismissal. On February 14, 2011, SkyWest Airlines and Atlantic Southeast voluntarily dismissed their
claims in the Superior Court, and filed a new complaint (the ‘‘State Court Complaint’’) in the Georgia
State Court of Fulton County (the ‘‘State Court’’). The claims continue to include breach of contract,
breach of contract based on mutual departure, breach of contract based on voluntary payment, and
breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing. Delta moved for partial dismissal of the State Court
Complaint, which motion was denied in its entirety.
Discovery in the State Court lawsuit has concluded. On July 19, 2013, the parties filed cross
motions for partial summary judgment. SkyWest Airlines and ExpressJet filed a motion for partial
summary judgment on their claim for voluntary payment. Delta filed a motion for partial summary
judgment on all of SkyWest’s and ExpressJet’s claims, for partial summary judgment on the issue of
damages, and for spoliation sanctions. Briefing of the cross motions is complete, but no hearing has
been scheduled by the Court. SkyWest and ExpressJet intend to oppose Delta’s motions and continue
to vigorously pursue their claims set forth in the State Court Complaint.
As of December 31, 2013, our estimated range of reasonably possible loss related to the dispute
was $0 to $25.8 million.
