I suggest a little research before you go posting making a fool of yourself. The pro-rated deal with Delta is still generating a profit.
Guys here's a big reality check for some of you. IF (and that's still a pretty big IF) skywest was to buy XJT it would be a short/mid term loss for skywest, hence the low ball offer on the table to offset the cost that would be incurred in the acquisition. Based on that, I believe the forces that be at skywest will not tolerate the gamble at higher sticker price.
I guess they thought our stockholders/management were going to roll over and say "oh thank you for saving us".....
nice try though!
