So you're expecting to aquire 350plus airplanes this summer? I find that hard to believe!

"I" am not acquiring anything. I'm just passing along the summary of the rumors going around. And I do believe that IF this happens, it will be shared by SkyWest and ASA. Most likely, SkyWest will get the assets, and ASA will get the acquired airlines since ASA is already union. What I AM sure of is that "something" big is on the horizon, whatever it is. They didn't do all this yesterday just to make everyone feel good.

btw... if you add SkyWest and ASA together, they only need about 150 more planes to hit their 500 goal.

Tony; you are hitting on something here.

ASA is ALPA, Mesaba and Compass are ALPA.

according to the airline profiles they would only need 44 more planes.

I guess anything is possible. I've also heard of a possible staple to Delta for Compass and Mesaba. So, which rumor is true?

Maybe if they buy Mesa and merge with Eagle they can forget about Alaska and count Puerto Rico as the 50th state

Finally someone who is on the right track. Keep it quiet though, this is "top-secret." The cat isn't out of the bag yet.

What you guys are hearing has some truth. You are going to get An additional 100 aircraft this year. Mostly from Comair when delta shuts them down. One of the biggest reason for Comair going away is because of the lawsuite from the 50 seater crash. From what I have been told you are going to grow big. The future is looking good for you guys. Your job is secured. Congrats...
