Add on to that the skyw guys that might leave for the likes of Alaska, Spirit, JB, Allegiant, Hawaiian, etc... and inc could be in a real bind.
The plan may be to wind it down. i dont know. But I wont be voting for concessions as long as inc has all the waste of running OO and EV separately. Combine the entire operation and show me then that every thing has been done to make one profitable airline. If the airline is not profitable at that point, then ill talk concessions.
Not arguing that... combine or wind down I think are the two options... I don't think its viable for them to continue to run two separate operations. It could be hugely beneficial to combine, but as long as unions are in the picture its never going to happen.
