It was straight from our MEC chairs mouth during our conference call post purchase. Our MEC was in Negotiations with Skywest on Wednesday when they were informed that the same bid that was put in for Skywest and shot down was the same one Delta presented to Pinnacle, and followed through on. From talking to People it sounded like if Mesaba would have gone to Skywest, they would have controlled more than 50% of the flying for DAL, through a merger with ASA. Pinnacle still will operate over 200 A/C for Delta now, so I don't see how that's any better!
