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.

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.

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.
