We could be absorbed by any of the Big 4 and it be. A blip on their hiring radar. And United is trying to build an empire - something about 20,000 pilots. Whether that’s actually obtainable or not doesn’t matter as much as the will of some idiot CEO who has the backing and courage to make moves.
Of course anyone could buy us… but why would they. We don’t own any orders, we don’t have assets like sims buildings etc, our planes are short term leases and we are losing money. Added to this is that indigo would want a ridiculously large sum for us as they overvalue everything. Think back to when our IPO came out at $20… It should have been half that at least. We are nothing but a small blip on the legacies radar screen.
