I think this SkyWest buying 9E thing is a bunch of hooey anyway, so I'm not worried. I am curious, though, because I don't see the following in the contract.
What would keep an acquiring company from buying 9E,
not merging the lists, and letting operational performance at 9E (like maintenance or OCC-based performance, for recent example) degrade to the point that our flying isn't renewed? Maintenance is as good as the budget will take it, as is starting with enough fuel to make prudent operational decisions off the gate.
