Similar problem with buying a major airline...SKW Inc. might buy some national airline but they would havre to operate them at arms length from SKW/ASA. Such an acquisition would have little impact on SKW pilots. They are not going to buy Alaska and staple them to the bottom of the SKW list

SKW is good company, but they are not going to become a major airline (real-world definition). Actually JA is probably smart enough to know that's a great way to lose a ton of money.
