Oh it will be very interesting! Maybe we should wait until the official news comes out. No need to get ahead of ourselves here. This is simply a rumor started in a web forum after all...

Wouldn’t be the first time they lost money on an investment. We’re currently using our excess pilots to cover for other regionals. God I hope we don’t try to fly for Southwest!
