Exhibit 10.13(a)  


 FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE  


 SKYWEST, INC.  


 2006 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN  


        THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE SKYWEST, INC. 2006 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN (this "Amendment") is made and adopted this
1st day of May, 2007, by SkyWest, Inc. 


        WHEREAS,
SkyWest, Inc. (the "Company") maintains the SkyWest, Inc. 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan") for the benefit of its employees and the employees
of its participating subsidiaries; and 


        WHEREAS,
it is necessary and desirable to amend the Plan to clarify the definition of "Fair Market Value" at which the exercise price of options may be set and to require that in the
event of a stock dividend, stock split, or reverse stock split, the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan and all outstanding awards under the Plan be proportionately adjusted to
reflect the effect of such event; and 


        WHEREAS,
the Company, acting through its Board of Directors (the "Board"), has reserved the right to amend the Plan at any time and from time to time; and 


        WHEREAS,
the Board has approved and adopted this Amendment. 


        NOW,
THEREFORE, the Plan is hereby amended as follows: 



        1.     The
second sentence of Section 2.11 of the Plan is amended effective May 2, 2006 to read as follows: 



"The
Fair Market Value of Shares as of any date shall be the closing trading price of the Shares as reported on the NASDAQ Stock Market on that date (or if there were no reported prices on such date,
on the last preceding date on which the closing Share price was reported), or, if the Company is not then listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market, on such other principal securities exchange on which the
Shares are traded, and if the Company is not listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market or any other securities exchange, the Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion using appropriate criteria." 




        2.     Section 12.2
of the Plan is amended effective May 1, 2007 to read as follows: 



"12.2. Adjustments.    If the outstanding Shares or other securities of the Company subject to Awards shall at any time be changed or
exchanged by declaration of a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination of shares, extraordinary dividend of cash or assets, recapitalization, reorganization or any similar equity
restructuring transaction (as that term is used in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R)) affecting the Shares or such securities , the Committee shall equitably adjust the
number and kind of Shares or other securities issuable under the Plan, the Limitations, the remaining maximum number of Shares or other securities that may be issued as "incentive stock options" under
the Plan, and the number of Shares or other securities underlying, and exercise price of, all outstanding Awards so as to maintain the proportionate number of Shares or other securities subject to
such outstanding Awards without changing the aggregate exercise or settlement price of such Awards, if any. No right to acquire a fractional share shall result, however, from any adjustment of Options
or Stock Appreciation Rights. In the case of any such adjustment, the number of shares subject to Options or Stock Appreciation Rights shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. In applying any
Limitation adjusted hereunder, Shares and Awards issued prior to the adjustment shall count against the adjusted Limitation on a post-split adjusted basis." 









 





        Except
as provided above, the originals terms of the Plan are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects. 


        IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Amendment to be executed by its duly authorized officer effective as of the date first above written.
