I never touched that Holding stock in the place you work is a bad idea... sets you up to be broke AND unemployed. If you get an option, and sell short-term that's OK, but bad idea to hold it in your portfolio.

So I guess it was a real bad idea to hold on to the ESPP shares I bought from 2014-2017 while at Skywest?
Majority were bought for under $20 a share and Skywest is at $58 now?

Quick....whats the Computershare number?!

If you left SKW, then you're not holding stock in your employer.

Just because you did something dumb and got lucky doesn't make it smart.

Doesn't seem so dumb to me

That’s unfortunate that if we merged we’d become a mega super carrier!

No one would be able to compete against our super huge route structure.
Maybe except for those other four airlines that would still be two or three or four times bigger than a combined AKJB. 😂😂

Bull$7!t. You’d be a lot smaller than the Legacies when they got married.

Yeah, I don't think the current administration would block numbers 5 & 6 from merging to become number 5. Especially with minimal route structure overlap.

He probably meant we would be too big for AK management to handle the new company. Too difficult to manage things outside Seattle when that large.
