No. SKW bought ASA intact from DAL because there was a benefit to doing so...guaranteed DAL flying. SKW was willing to take on ALPA and the screwed up ASA management as part of that deal.
With mesa, they have almost no incentive to take responsibility for an INTACT mesa management and ALPA...which is far more screwed up than ASA was. US Air doesn't own mesa and doesn't care what happens to them (actually that's not true, DP would like to see mesa burn in hell
). The ONLY thing that SKW MIGHT want from mesa is the pilots, and maybe some airplanes...which they can probably make a deal for without buying the whole package. JO will cheerfully dismantle his company for a quick buck.
