Could Endeavor Air be sold to SkyWest?
 
Recent events are showing that Delta Air Lines wants to limit its liability. The sale of Delta Global Services shows us this. All they're getting from owning their own regional, Endeavor Air, is more liability. SkyWest offers them a better product with no union costs, better fuel economy at 250 knots, and more calls for ride reports and ramp access requests on 121.5. I think it's likely that they're in talks to sell Endeavor Air to SkyWest at this very moment. It could be L-ASA/ExpressJet all over again around here.

I hope we at least get 280 knots out of the deal.

Did Garbage Bag Gate give everybody a collective aneurysm? No one's even complained yet about the memo that says the D-10 ACARS is staying. This place has been a strange place lately.

Republic.
Delta parks the 200 as planned. Republics 100 ERJ order is perfect as a 1 to 1 replacement for the old 900s. If Delta does not sell of the 900s off then Republic will keep working on its CRJ program.

This is as bad as CNN. I know it's been quite lately but we don't need to make up BS just to post something.

The 200 is not going away, only cut to roughly 60 delta wide. But just ignore the facts

I agree. The last I heard from yesterday's FAs was SGU is trying to get Delta to actually admit that "SkyWest is the SkyBest."

Atlanta is having a hard time swallowing that one. They might accept it for the rights to OO's gates at ATL.

Me, I'm just looking forward to having to wear horn-rimmed glasses, a shoulder-mounted badge holder, and some stupid flip in my hair.

Eh, if you wanna pretend this that's fine. Contractually section one of the contract limits the hell out of any mergers, if they did merge we'd be in the drivers seat, a large chunk of the planes are guaranteed, there'd be a 5 yr fence never mind operational fences.

Skywest dont need us. Delta acts like they want us, and Delta have to give out a giant fat contract to skywest right before a downturn? Nah. I think skywest will be around when im 70 years old (so 6 more years at least) but its a bad time for mergers. Also, talk is talk, delta had mesaba on the rummage block for months and when the sale happened it was to an airline no one saw coming except a guy on here who had so many wrong calls it was finally time for him to be right once.

SkyWest said they are done buying other airlines. Messages from the top after the sell of XJT. Refocused on running SkyWest.. Not Running around all year trying everything to fix XJT...
