Sounds like he'd be taking a page out of Lorenzo's book.

True...but the Q operation is up and running right now. It'd divert a lot of manpower and company resources for skywest to start a Q operation from the ground up.
I suppose this all pivots on whether or not United wants to play ball and renegotiate the terms of the contract. They'd be setting a bad business precedent and open themselves up to the possibility of other carriers coming forward asking to renegotiate the terms of their contracts. United's not in business to make other carrier's money.
