What a ridiculous situation that was...I mean, even after they realized their mistake, couldn't they come up with a better (and cheaper) solution? The article makes it sound like Skywest realized in midflight that the aircraft was 'too large' for them to handle at their Chattanooga station. I am assuming that they meant their jetbridge couldn't 'mate up' with the aircraft?
A much better solution would have been to either use a portable airstair, or if worse came to worse, 'eat crow', and arrange to use one of the other carrier's gates there for just that round trip flight...
