PROXY STATEMENT
FOR THE
ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
OF
SKYWEST, INC.
TUESDAY, MAY 3, 2016
OVERVIEW
Solicitation
This Proxy Statement, the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting, proxy card and the Annual Report to
Shareholders of SkyWest, Inc. (the “Company” or “SkyWest”) are being mailed on or about March 17, 2016. The Board
of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) is soliciting your proxy to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting of the
Company’s Shareholders to be held on May 3, 2016 (the “Meeting”). The Board is soliciting your proxy in an effort to
give all shareholders of record the opportunity to vote on matters that will be presented at the Meeting. This Proxy
Statement provides information to assist you in voting your shares.
What is a proxy?
A proxy is your legal designation of another person to vote on your behalf. You are giving the individuals
appointed by the Board as proxies (Jerry C. Atkin, Russell A. Childs and Robert J. Simmons) the authority to vote your
shares in the manner you indicate.
Why did I receive more than one notice?
You may receive multiple notices if you hold your shares in different ways (e.g., joint tenancy, trusts, or
custodial accounts) or in multiple accounts. If your shares are held by a broker (i.e., in “street name”), you will receive
your notice or other voting information from your broker. In any case, you should vote for each notice you receive.
Voting Information
Who is qualified to vote?
You are qualified to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting if you owned shares of common stock of
SkyWest (the “Common Stock”) at the close of business on the record date of Friday, March 4, 2016.
How many shares of Common Stock may vote at the Meeting?
As of March 4, 2016, there were 51,353,043 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Each
share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on each matter presented at the Meeting.
What is the difference between a “shareholder of record” and a “street name” holder?
If your shares are registered directly in your name with Zion’s First National Bank, the Company’s transfer
agent, you are a “shareholder of record.” If your shares are held in the name of a brokerage, bank, trust or other nominee
as a custodian, you are a “street name” holder.
