Why Does Comair Vote Results = Mesa Buyout?

[GEUAviator]

Could someone please explain why the concessions that Comair agreed to could lead to a Mesa buyout? I guess I don't see the correlation.

Thanks,

It doesn't.

It doesn't. It just makes it more likely that Comair will be sold, and people like to use Mesa as the bogey man. For whatever reason Delta can't run Comair as cheaply as they could pay somebody else to run it for them, and it's harder to whipsaw a wholly owned against an external company.

So it's likely Comair will be sold, the new contract makes it more attractive to the buyer. Who might buy them - let the speculation begin!

What about Delta spinning off CMR in an IPO... Kinda like the Coex deal
