- Easy acquisition.
- They get one new partner out of the deal.
Possible hassles:
- ALPA integration with ASA?
- This will not happen if SGU cannot renew the 900 flying in advance (or unless they can find some other solid use for those 900's...perhaps UA/CAL scope relaxation?)
I seriously doubt SKW, Inc would buy Mesa as an airline because of the mess and the debt. Also, the airline would come with the pilots and a union headache. Most likely, if SKW gets involved, its a liquidation of the assets. And everything I'm hearing suggests that SKW has been involved for a while.
