Oh I know they could sell to anyone. But it's all in theory but SkyWest does have the biggest pockets of all the regionals combined and I doubt Alaska would sell it at a lower price to someone to avoid selling to SkyWest. Still it's all theory and horizon isn't for sale (that we know of) so speculation is just that.

I wonder what the plan is for Horizon's branded flying now since it is 55% of their operation. Will Alaska provide a CPA to cover most of it?

So why didn't DAL sell Mesaba or Compass to Skywest? Compass went to Trans States for $20 million. Chump change. Something to think about.

Well what do you think they are going to say? Yeah, well we really wanted Mesaba but DAL wouldn't sell them to us? Skywest is showing interest in Comair whom is loaded with 50 seaters and few 700/900's, but Mesaba has 41 CRJ900 configured to 76 seats wasn't in SkyWest's best interests? Yeah. Ok.
