Like I was saying in your statement... that is certainly possible. The liklihood of which I'm not really sure. The list itself was integrated quite logically. What is the fubar'd part is the quotas that were attached with it.
Now, here's where I differ with you and go down a different path. Had alpa not been voted in, I think you would have seen more like a Skywest and ASA/Expressjet thing with Colgan being kept from integrating due to the nonunion whipsaw avaiable. What came with the very different financial picture that PNCL corporate had vs skywest inc would be the wild card. It could have gone so many different directions once bankruptcy happened.
