Buying Envoy would be idiotic. And 1B is nowhere near enough to buy it. Skywest did not become a large regional by being idiots. They know better than that.
Pretty sure I said I was playing devils advocate, but let really explore that ‘what if’.
CC wants nothing to do with buying an entire airline, or 145’s…
if AAG wanted to downsize some of its liabilities, I’m sure CC would be more than happy to pay cash for those 75 175’s that envoy flies. That would only be a 30% increase to the number of 175s that OO already has.
As long as CC is pres/ceo, there won’t be neither acquisition of a company. Now if we’re talking about waiting until a company collapses? CC would be the first person in line with a big bag of cash to buy the planes and his HR manager would be in tow to begin the interview process for said company’s former pilots.
All that to say, none of that is going to happen, i could almost guarantee that CC is focused on my more interesting things.
