Parker has said time and time again that he wants the flying to be done by the wholly-owned, so do you really think that every single airplane they had on order was going to be farmed out to Mesa, Compass, GoJet, etc; Seriously, do you really think that that was the future had PSA said no?
First, it was made clear to the union reps that PSA would be shut down if they voted no a third time, (just like it was made known to ENVOY'S union reps). Additionally, the Chief Pilots made it know that the shut-down process was already slated to begin 30 days after that no vote. We can't show you anything to prove this to you,...... just like you can't show us anything to prove that Envoy was going to be shut down. Envoy pilots believed 'em. PSA pilots believed 'em.
Secondly, your argument that Parker "wants the flying to be done by the wholly-owned(s)" falls on itself when faced with the FACT that he
DID give so many planes to Mesa, Republic, Compass, etc. instead of PSA and Envoy. Sure he'd like to keep it in-house, but if he could use it as a weapon to force concessions on his wholly-owned pilots, HE WILL! And HE HAS!
