Get real, people. United buying us saves thousands of jobs, even without a flow. Endeavor can hire without a flow.

Obviously a flow would be incredible, a staple even better, but none of those are required to save the company. Stability, growth and dropping upgrade times would be a great start.
I agree with you that it would be better belong to United than being owned by Screwest. But I don't believe this rumor. Biggest lie of 2017 that will continue in 2018. Meanwhile the attention is diverted from what's really important; improving contract.

UA goes for the lowest bidder. SKYW goes for the highest bidder. Apparently, there is little overlap lately.

I believe United is interested and is talking to SkyWest about it, not that the purchase has already gone through.

Skyworst can either get some money for their investment in XJT or they will watch their investment implode by the end of 2018 and become worthless. They've been lucky in the past and made their millions years ago with different mgmt but the current team in SLC doesn't have a clue

Not the point but your nit picking tells me my point has been made. So thank you.

United now owns roughly 20% of Republic, but nothing has changed.
