In business, how much money is "in your wallet" is irrelevant. Jerry has that much in his wallet because he doesn't make poor business decisions such as ****ing away money just because he can. SKYW could win any bid they want... clearly they didn't want Compass badly enough.

Clearly. But since ASA's training department was told to write an EMB-170 program "just in case" (that is a FACT), it would seem ASA didn't get the memo on that. So clearly there is a problem.

Just face it, we the emoloyees are pawns in a game. We are the last to be told what is going on. None of us know what is really going to happen. Instead of wasting energy on spreading rumors and fighting each other we should be fighting for a national seniority list or minimum rates per seat so we can stop the whip-sawing and make this an industry worth working in.

It's funny going back and seeing who knew what they were talking about and who didn't

I doubt anyone would be willing to buy this operation. Delta will be asking a price that encompasses a bunch of flying that will soon be gone, why would anyone buy a contract for flying that will be gone in a year?

Here's a hint- you're looking for "Post Merger Airline and Services Agreement". It's accessible information if you just pull your head out of your ass and look instead of cackling rumors in the corner like a little girl. Search away stupid people.
HAHA. what a tool....who is stupid now?

Delta didn't want to sell to SKYW, so the didn't. It's simple.

Doesn't mean SKYW couldn't buy TSH.

Weren't there rumors the last three-four years that Skywest's training department was told at various times to write E145, E170, and Q400 programs?

Or maybe.....just maybe DAL didn't want to sell Compass to Skywest? Reference the Comair strike.

Think about it.
