Even if they shut down the branded, I think it is a much better option than staying independent (having the branded shut down soon anyway) and then losing the CAL flying.
See the problem we have is those are profitable operations and Skywest would shut it down and take the planes over on their side and use them right away. The biggest issue with a bunch of us is taking away our LAX base just to start flying themselves out of LAX. For a lot of us that live on the west coast, this is not acceptable.
