Guys, I have no idea what Jerry has planned for SKW but I'm sure he's already working on it. Our United contract is up in 2017, Delta in 2020 and I'm sure Jerry understands that things are bound to change. Sometime!
Two things SKW doesn't have, a reservation system and a market. BUT, buy a Major and there you have it, a beginning. I'm not saying that this is what's going to happen but it's as likely as them launching out on their own. SKW could afford to buy Midwest or someone else and with the purchase they gain a food chain. Beautiful part about Midwest is that they don’t directly compete with Delta or United so we wouldn’t be in breach of our codeshare contracts.
Bottom line, Jerry is already making plans and you can bet that he's doing his research; he sees how others have failed and succeeded. If Jerry launches I'm sure it will be calculated, educated and well prepared.
Just "Fuel for the Fire."
