Skywest is headed down the all CRJ path, and Horizon will soon be all Q400. The two would actually complement eachother nicely, much the same way Piedmont complements PSA for US Airways. There are even rumors that SKW will be doing the -700 flying that Horizon is doing right now even if Delta and Alaska don't ever merge. So I don't think there would be any fighting...I think it would actually work out really well between the two if DL and AS were to merge...
