Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting

(2) Segment Reporting

        Generally accepted accounting principles require disclosures related to components of a company for which separate financial information is available to, and regularly evaluated by, the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") when deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

        The Company's two operating segments consist of the operations conducted by its two subsidiaries, SkyWest Airlines and ExpressJet. On December 31, 2011, ExpressJet Delaware and Atlantic Southeast merged through the ExpressJet Combination. As a result of the ExpressJet Combination, ExpressJet became a reportable segment. Prior year amounts have been revised to conform to the current year segment presentation. The results of operation of ExpressJet Delaware and Atlantic Southeast for periods prior to the ExpressJet Combination are combined under the ExpressJet segment. Corporate overhead expense incurred by the Company is allocated to the operating expenses of its two operating subsidiaries.

        The following represents the Company's segment data for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands).
