Slap,
Listen, because this is important. I am not a skywest hater. I think you'll find that most people (at least decent people) on here aren't. But I'll tell you why this is different than Skywest being awarded Midwest flying.
Skywest doesn't have a couple hundred pilots on current furlough. Skywest wasn't reduced to flying just Saab's for next to nothing. Skywest has never been in bankruptcy, and Skywest has a history of treating employees decently.
By your statement, it seemed like you would have liked to see Mesaba fail, so Skywest could grow more. Thus, all I said was your statement was cold, and these are the reasons why.
