Sure, but I bet that gate space is getting tight for them. I mean their terminal is literally out in the boonies.

That would be quite a quandary for Delta.. oppose Emirates airlines but be in a code share with them.

Stranger things have happened: United competed directly with Republic when they owned Frontier while at the same time financially supporting the operation by using them as a codeshare.

Genius!

We keep hearing more and more substantial rumors at NK of a UAL buyout. At this point Payless shoe source would be a nice option to get this horrid management team off the books. NK is like a rectal itch to UAL and could be stomped away easily.

The reverend is a bastard, but a SMART BASTARD.

He wasn't the first to do it, but used the whole multiple certificate trick for scope workarounds en masse.

I think there is more to the eye with this expressjet cpp. Mgmt says on the cusp of a big growth opportunity, but no off the street hiring, no early outs, no fleet plan, must grow feed to the hubs from the president, must compete, keep adding destinations, etc....but no Indoc classes. Hmmmm. I think we buy a 100 seater and staff it with these expressjet dudes, all of which will be ecstatic since Skywest keeps growing and they keep shrinking thinking their careers are doomed. If they are to follow the delta model, it seems the most logical and cost effective route. Buying JBlue or Frontier seems ridiculous, not to mention mgmt is probably aware of how another SLI could derail the momentum. An express staple is a win for everyone.
