I fly through SLC quite often so I know what your frustrations with SkyWest are. Even though their average fleet age is only 7.4 years (6.1 years for the CRJs) they seem older probably because they are utilized a great deal. SkyWest also seems to pay little or no attention to maintaining the interiors of their aircraft so they look older than they really are. Safety-wise I don't believe there are issues as they seem to take safety critical issues quite seriously but they do seem to have more than their fair share of delays and cancellations.
