I highly doubt anything "slipp[ed] between their fingers." SkyWest's leaders are highly skilled businessmen, and they clearly found the price too high for their ROI goals. Compass would have been nice to pick up, but the price was just too high. Mesaba, on the other hand... well, do you
really want them on property?
