In that regard I was wrong about today. I am sure there is more, but the best guessers that I talked to did not see Trans States anywhere near this deal. Nor did I. I get em wrong too. Pinnacle was one of two ways this could have folded.
So now that I have discredited my self in your eyes I will give my personal take.
It is simple. Appearance. 60 may flow. That would be 60 days Aug 2, 16 and the first class of Sept.
What would your take be if they were not doing all of this stuff to make it look like we were going to be screening you guys? Can we all say lawsuit and intent.
Understand that all of these "costs" are negligible, and the licensing is part of our package. The true test is to see if they pack up the second the money hits DAL's bank account.
How did you see this going? Who was the buyer you had in mind?
Your logic make sense. Act like everything is just fine, even though its not. Otherwise your vulnerable. I wouldn't be surprised if the flow goes - but it is unfortunate to those who want it, but aren't in the top 60 of the list.
