I always thought that the US Airways flying that Mesa operates right now out of PHX and LAS would be something that Skywest mgmt would fight aggressively for if it were up for grabs.. but the idea of purchasing a company like Mesa and inheriting all their disgruntled employees, broken airplanes, and other problems doesnt seem like something that Jerry and Co. would want to deal with.. why would you want to buy a company thats gonna take so much effort to change the corporate culture.. my guess is that we'd just wait for Mesa to enter bancruptcy and then tell Airways we'd be happy to take over their Phoenix and Vegas operations..

also the idea of integrating (stapling) the seniority lists makes no sense either.. especially with Mesa being ALPA..

I'm not holding my breath for this one to come true
