Probably not. The low frequency operations don't match up with what any other airline does, the stock price is too high for anyone to be able to afford the company for what they would get, and, finally, who wants a bunch of old beat up MD-80's?
Plus, most other companies would take a look at the training department and the maintenance records and run like hell.
The only possibility would be Allegiant buying someone, and I personally don't think that's very likely.
