SKYWEST looking to buy more...

[Major Metalhead]

i can add another fun rumor as to what skywest might be up to.....

buddy of mine told me that a couple of skywest people were getting a tour of the great lakes headquarters in cys......could be interesting if its true...but i doubt it....

Ummmm why on Gods green earth would Skywest want anything to do with Great Lakes???

Yea, you should doubt it..someone is pulling your leg..HARD

Actually, SkyWest left 50 CRJ200s on Delta's books so that should there be a sudden downturn in regional jet flying those airplanes instantly become Delta's problem. FlyI needs to get those Airbus products on the property for their survival and to be attractive to buyers.

Delta could drop those leases in court. Gone.


Bye Bye--General Lee

Delta also loses out on a good chunk of that $425M if they change their minds in BK

 

[doh]

Ah, Generalisimo, you are back. Now you can tell us how much you are hoping to see Comair go down!

 

[strega7]

Exactly! SkyWest gets to earn interest on that $125 million for the next four years before Delta gets it IF they don't go chapter 11. Right now we are only out the $330 million. This and the fact 40+ RJ's stay on Delta's books was a pretty smart move by Mr. Atkin.

strega,
I agree, Jerry did a good job on this deal.

 

[rtmcfi]

The smart play was the ATL gates. That was a brilliant move.

 

[Redeyes]

Delta could drop those leases, but not on SkyWest on the lessor. GE I am guessing.

For an additional certificate to operate the 737NG aircraft they are about to place an order for. They even said they plan to keep every pilot onboard and maintain seperate seniority lists.

And which group of pilots would fly these planes?

Well obviously it would be the Lakers.

If they want to fly them for 50-seat rates, they can have them!
