They would be required by SEC rules to stay silent until the deal is done. I would like to think that the new opportunity is a good one but the timing of pilot and aircraft attrition could make it a very rocky transition.

I don’t mean to be insulting... but you think this clown shoe operation who can’t get a company call to go right would be able to execute a deal like that? I’m getting bitter for sure, but I don’t see that being feasible.

That company call went exactly right by their measure, if I had my guess...

Agree. I think something will come through, but I don't think it will be without months of unstableness. I think there are a few players involved with a possible buyout. Buyouts don't happen overnight, and the logistics that would even go into a deal are much beyond our level of understanding.

I agree with ninerdriver. I think the call went perfect for the company.... Plus the company would only be executing the deal to a certain extent. Probably just going back and forth with the potential buyer who would be running the show. I'm sure TSH isn't the easiest to buy from....

I know a couple of high teens low twenty guys are in a Nov. 4th class.

Oh ok...it’s going to be a while before that’s even an option to consider then.

Not sure if you'er joking or not. We are talking about seniority number not age.

Unless CP has assets I don’t know about, I wouldn’t hope SkyWest out as a possible buyer if that is what I’m reading. A merger would be messy and a headache and expensive for a fleet expansion of less than 4%. Then American moves the planes back to envoy.
