Mergers
I said long ago that the regional industry would eventually consolidate through shut downs, buyouts, consolidations and mergers. We’ve seen a few shutdowns get accelerated due to Coronavirus. This industry wide slowdown provides the perfect opportunity for them to right size the mothership.... but don’t think for a second that it stops there.
my recommendation would be to spool up the mergers committees on all three WO’s and get those guys trained at National.

Cujos predictions have just been common sense. He might be wrong about who actually will merge though.
