SkyWest owns us. What would it take to break away? It would take SkyWest willing to sell us and someone with enough money to buy us. It other words don't hold your breath.

DL31082 is just stating the obvious. It's highly unlikely anyone is going to put up enough funds to entice Skywest into selling.

I really am repeating myself with these posts but in all honesty do the people see whats going on?

In my opinion what would help you guys the most, and the industry for that matter, would be for you guys to merge and operate under one contract.

Just curious what you think the union can do to stop it? Strike? They'll never let us. Picket outside the HQ in St. George?
