The Q&A section of skywest.com posts this question:

Does this purchase deter other future growth opportunities?

Not at all. In fact, as a holding company, SkyWest, Inc. will continue to be in a position to explore other ventures, such as acquiring a low-cost carrier or another regional carrier or adding an additional code share partner to one of our operations. Our cash position will remain strong through the acquisition supporting daily operations as well as providing for future opportunities. Our new Delta contracts will be profitable from day one.

They are going to buy Indy Air and PSA next and get in with the USAir/AmWest Merger.
 
How about Chickita or Chq

They could buy CHQ airlines and have More Delta, United, American, and USAir Express flying. That would be interesting. Right!?

FLYI might be an attractive deal if SkyWest could use the 50 seaters at DL or UA
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.

SkyWest should buy ExpressJet......they gotta cover that empty spot in their route structure somehow........

SKYW has no cash left after this deal. Where they gonna come up with more money for another transaction. DAL will file CH11 in a few months. UAL will continue to flounder around until they are close to CH7. SKYW will have to renegotiate contracts for both carriers and probably share some of the risk of fuel. They will be left with no cash for a rainy day and will themselves be run close to CH11 because of no available cash. The only regional that is just hanging out watching all of this unfold while stashing cash is XJT. XJT will watch them all get backed into a corner and then buy them all at a discount. XJT-MESA-SKYW-CHQ will all be one airline and XJT will rule the world!!!
