I know you guys think Delta is the be all and end all, but fortunately for you guys, you never get the receiving end of their shady dealings. But enjoy that profit sharing check.

So you're saying Skywest Inc was forced to purchase ASA? It wasn't their decision to do so?

If you don't like the terms on a car loan, do you sign the agreement? If so, it's no one's fault but your own.
