I have for some time been telling people at Comair what is coming their way. You have pretty much repeated what I have said.
Just because I repeated it doesn't mean I believe it. While certainly possible, even if this rumor proves true no one who actually knows anything would say anything openly about it. Probably someone said something about Comair being for sale. No shock about this. Then someone else added the thought that maybe it would be for sale as parts/liquidation instead of in its present form and passed it on. Once it had passed through a couple of more people it was no longer speculation but fact.
All I'm saying is while some rumors do prove to be true, something along these lines would be kept very quiet, as it would involve insider information and could affect share prices, etc. Anything is possible, but I wouldn't want to accept it as fact or anything but an interesting rumor at this point.
