"You" aren't going to, or have not bought anybody! A holding company that owns the company you work for has bought another company (ASA), which puts them on equal footing to you, as would any other airline they (Skywest Inc.) may purchase. Skywest Airlines (whom you work for) neither owns nor will purchase any other airline! Get that through you thick heads..........

oj, oj, oj

talk about needing to relax.
Who do you think made the money for Skywest Inc. yes Skywest Airlines,....and the money that they paid for ASA?, Yes Skywest Airlines. And who do you think made all the cash that Skywest Inc is trying to invest in buying another company? Yes Skywest Airlines and in the future hopefully ASA too.

So when any of our pilots say that "we bought" another company like when we bought ASA it is because it was done with money that we among others working at Skywest Airlines made for Skywest Inc.

Without Skywest Airlines and the money from its operation Skywest Inc would not exist in the first place.

Skywest Airlines and Skywest Inc being two different companies is just a financial strategic (for tax, investment and financial protection) issue and we (at least me) does not see it like two different companies but more like two departments of the same company.
