Congratulations, you've made mine, too. What a tool.

I think you and your "friend" Dave Benjamin are still having sour grapes that I rained on your little SAPA party by posting "Zoltar". But go ahead and ignore me. Less truth for you to spin. Let us know how that 90 seater for 50 seat rates works out.

Dave and CFIT-

Skywest bought us because it was a very good business decision. It was for much more important reasons than gates or routes in SLC. They got the opportunity to buy a profitable company for a very low price as well as solidify their relationship with Delta. One need look no further than Skywest's financial results post-buy to see the evidence of that. So please, stop waving the, "it could've been Mesa" flag at us to make us think we should accept anything. Besides, had Mesa bought us, we could have already merged fairly with the Mesa pilots since they are unionized. Skywest pilots like yourself, Dave, have already made it clear that we should be stapled to the bottom and be happy with that.

Lastly, ASA pilots are not any better off for having been aquired by either carrier. Both have pros and cons (Mesa might have a few more ex-cons than us though (j/k)).
