As I said, not right now. Let's see what happens if the sale ever goes through. I've heard it, too. My favorite one is the "turn-key solution" or "end-to-end". Unfortunately, my experience says it's time to move on. My previous company was bought out, hastily liquidated, then the HQ was moved to another state and they only things the new owners took with them were the Air Carrier Certificate and the company name. I don't think TPG has this in mind, but looking at their track record, TMC is no Continental and TMC doesn't have any aircraft I would consider valuable or desirable. In that regard, TMC is no XOJet. Customers want bigger planes and TMC doesn't have them. Should TPG bring a bag of cash, I could see a deal where management shakes up and new planes come to the line, but that's all in the Magic 8 Ball.Originally Posted by David Puddy
No logical reason? How about the good old consultant word "synergy"? What if you strip out redundant costs and systems to help pay back some of the acquisition debt? Why would you want 2 marketing departments? Why not offer customers a "full range of aircraft types" so that customers seeking a lower price point don't shop elsewhere? Or offer a "one-stop shop"? I have heard it all before. Just give the consultants time....
