Could be completely unrelated. Some parts of a company keep on keeping on regardless of any M&A possibilities... which often fall through anyway.

If there's anything this company has proven over and over is its inability for one department to talk to another.

adding to that this company also does not struggle to make money, bean counters do well but that being said that means they can easily afford to pay us like DL and UA they’ll need to otherwise people will stop coming here

What other "major" airline is desperate enough to offer $1k referral bonuses? They obviously aren't getting the volume of qualified applicants they need if they're having to take this very "diarrhea tier regional-esque" step.

No one knows except for the key players up in management. Eskimo is the smaller fish in the pond and the sharks are always on the lookout. Eskimo is in over its head and can't seem to build enough smash to out maneuver the bogey. The perfect storm has brought this flailing operation to a crossroad. This mega legacy regional has seen better days and if they can't stabilize itself and pull through, it just may be swallowed up by a shark. One more thing that we as cogs have no control over. It's anyone's guess. See you all on April fool's day!
