Buying a competitor eliminates a competitor, and Maury hates competition. Buying a large airline brings large planes and international ops. Seems to make more sense than more flights to North Dakota.
I'm sure management will find some non-competitive routes to fly 2-4 times per week like the rest of our network. I know you think Maury is nuts, and i am not fan of his, but Wall Street seems to love what he is doing because our market cap is over $3b this morning and NK is sitting $2.3b despite NK having way more planes on hand and way more planes on order. They are a significantly larger airline than ours by traditional metrics (ASMs, etc.) yet here we are with a ~30% larger market cap and significantly more valuable stock.
Maury always does what is in the best interest of the shareholders because he is the largest shareholder...
