“SkyWest also secured agreements to acquire 21 used CRJ700s in a 50-seat configuration and lease the aircraft under a multi-year term to another regional airline operating for United Airlines. The aircraft purchases and leases are expected to be completed in Q4 2020.”

Maybe having the cash on hand was to avoid something in the short term like bankruptcy? Which doesn't bode well with investors.
I'm no economist, but it sounds like a smart move.

1. Compass shut down this year
2. Trans States shut down this year
3. SkyWest was going to lease 29 CRJ700 airframes to GoJet, but GoJet had to return three and could not accept the remaining 13 due to financial issues. This is per the SkyWest earnings statement.
4. Now SkyWest is purchasing 21 airframes from GoJet and leasing them back to them.
Everything else is speculation from the evidence and clues.
