I highly doubt the validity of this rumor. He isn't the decision maker on these matters, the decision to pursue the at risk flying came from above. He's just the fall guy, and surely the board can see that.
But if true, and he departs, it could be a sure sign that SkyWest will no longer be a stand alone airline (merger after all?)
