Think of each wholly own as a franchise. Make no sense to join them together unless you like seeing sticks and stones flying.
Plus you have 3 different managements. And CEO's hate to cut managements jobs. Can you imagine being in a upper level position and had to join the 3 groups? If you were in charge you would have 3 times the amount of work. And for what? I doubt you would get paid anything additional. I guess my point is: Management hates work. They want their 10-3 m-f jobs. Anything additional is like working for free.

That will go out the window in this merger.

It may or may not happen. The only certainty is this guy is the last person you should listen to. He still thinks my name is "Joey".

If you would merge the three, PDT assets would not benefit any potential buyer. I'm not sure PSA would help this formula either. Cheaper to shut it down and sell the parts. If you look at them template of the other mergers they wouldn't need all this lift, so someone is going to take the fall.

If there is any merger with Eagle, it's not likely to be a turboprop operator with no fleet commonality, but that's just my opinion.

Yeah, I love how people who don't even work at Eagle feel so confident in making absolute statements about our company. They take crew room gossip and re-post it on internet forums without having any knowledge of what is actually taking place.
