I was asking him (jokingly) if we could be bought out by Southwest. Wouldn't that be great though, a purple Dash.
Same questions went through my head when I heard this, but I have an idea that I know most don't agree with. 1. They don't want our planes. 2. They can't fly our routes because A) besides HHH, we don't have our own routes, we get what the RJ's don't want. B) there are already to many large RJ's flying for mainline so unless they put 50 st RJ's on them, that"s out. I just thought that with all the news out because of the Colgan accident, and the thought that regional pilots are not experienced enough, even though it would be costly, he might be interested in buying experience. If RAH keeps expanding, they are going to need more pilots and instead of hiring 1200 hr pilots, they can have 20 year captains and a large number of experienced F.O's. JUST A THOUGHT PEOPLE!. Now, i can't wait to see the replies to this!
