Cash burn. Worry about the other stuff later. The problem is you are a seperate entity until the marriage and still need to function.

While I once thought it was a possibility, I think the only avenue for us is something akin to a Breeze or making a move on Hawaiin. While Hawaiin doesn't have a glut of small planes, they do have heavies, something that would allow us to expand if leadership went that route. This is all conjecture however as I am not an airline CEO and honestly have no idea of all the nuances and complexities something like this entails.
Aren't we already Alaska's, pending the DOJ?
