XJT has 244.26M in total cash according to the last 10-Q, with 153.49M in debt. Compare that to Republic Airways Holdings, which has 162M in cash and 1.41B (as in billion :eek: ) in debt...and Midwest Air Group, with only ~99M in cash and 47M in debt.
not to mention awac's holding company has sold and holds almost half a billion in US Air stock, of which about $200 mil is liquid cash (post sale of stock). awac could more afford the buyout than anyone else (but it ain't gonna happen :)). that doesn't count what air wisconsin airlines corp has on hand.
