I'm surprised anyone here would be excited at a merger right now.
As of today (this stuff changes hourly it seems) I've never been happier to not be at a legacy carrier. Our benefit is our size at the moment, and the ability to capitalize on markets where the big guys are struggling and bleeding money. Also while I'd love a West Coast expansion and a merger with someone like Alaska, I want nothing to do with their farmed out regional flying/lack of scope. Those guys are losing their jobs because management decided they'd rather have Skywest fly a 175 on a 3hr flight at half the cost, than pay their actual employees.

I wasn’t thrilled about the prospect of a merger with another Legacy/SWA even before this mess started. I’m probably in the minority though.

How can everyone be so blind.
Breeze Airlines. Neelman pushes launch until 2021 (May). He getting the same planes as us in 2021. Wants to fly the same planes as us now. NDA signed over a few beers. Let’s keep the lads and gals until 2021 with an agreement that when you got outta business I get your planes people and gates. Thanks!
