Default Pinnacle/SkyWest deal

Hearing a lot about this. I guess SkyWest really was in Memphis. Seems like this could be the factor on whether or not bankruptcy is declared and may be what's responsible for the wait. Skywest buying pinnacle? Colgan? Taking the Q's?

How do you know that Skywest really was in Memphis. I doubt they would meet in Memphis they would meet in a disclosed location to prevent rumors like this

SKW is NOT going to buy pinnacle. They already have two problematic acquisitions they are still trying to sort out.

Why buy it in a manner that you get stuck with the operation and the pilots. Better to just wait for bankruptcy and buy the pieces in a manner that allows you to take what you want without the employees.

Because our contract states the employees must go with the aircraft...not to mention 9E owns 16 of the 900's and 29 of the Q's...
