Why would Skywest buy gojet when they already own the equipment you fly? What would they get out of it?

Well, they need 7,000. The list says 5,550. With attrition numbers being so high I’d be shocked if they hit the 7k mark in less than a year.

But yeah 500 won’t do it, and it’s unlikely OO management ever buys out a pilot group ever again after ExpressJet.

As long as CC is at OO, we will NEVER again buy another airline.

I’m aware, but I’m also not oblivious of the attrition numbers and NH’s who won’t make it through training. They won’t come close to a net of 500 pilots in less than 2 months Johnny.

and with that many in the pipeline, there will be a lot of washouts. No flexibility for extra sims when there are 200 guys in line behind you.
