Heard from a reliable source that Wheels Up is looking to go public by years end but they lack employee count. Only way to make that work is if they bought out another 135 operator and that they were/are looking at buying someone out just not sure who. Is there any weight to this rumor?

Wheels ups entire model is built on "not" owning aircraft and paying pilots and flight followers, so I doubt they want to buy another 135.
