One can only speculate at this point .
Some senior instructors and LCA’s I have talked to (AWAC) say it’s happening. That we are getting 700’s, just hasn’t been announced yet. Probably just an Agreement in Principle (*remembers when we were getting DL flying*) and don’t want that mess to happen again is my guess.

He did. Does it make sense to buy an airline in this market? Why not wait for them to shutdown then just buy the pieces you want? The one thing you especially don't want is the pilots, they come with a sense of entitlement they call seniority.

People here keep talking mergers. Mergers make sense if it is the only way to get the assets and revenue streams or deny them to a competitor, but they come with headaches. If you can get the productive capacity in another way it is generally preferable.

I am sure if he could figure a way to buy the flying without the pilots that is exactly what he would do.

GJ currently has 13 Skywest leases (that are staying at GJ) and 25 other aircraft, some owned by GJ some leased. 7 of these are in the conversion process, the rest are already 550s. Nowhere in Skywest call, Mesa"s or anywhere else does it say that any other carrier is gonna operate the 550 right now. Mesa wants to and Skywest kinda wants to but doesnt seem to care that much. I see a lot of misinformation on this site and I wonder how much of it is ignorance and how much is deliberate. I dont know the future of GJ, the 550, or anything else and at this point anything is possible. But stop spreading misinformation.
"False"!, "Misinformation", "ignorance", "deliberate", then "misinformation" again! What part of "STEV" being a male don't you understand, it is obviously Mr.Information, not MissInformation! Why do you blame everything you claim to be ignorant and wrong "mis" information even when spouted by a male, you sexist pig!

GJ is soon gone, on the edge of being a part of "his"tory which will quickly fade into nothingness, as will that male reprobate that you worship, HK, the king of MrTreating his employees, the king of Mrleading people with promises of boneresses if you come work for him. He build 2 companies and then added a third before they all went down the drain from his MrManagement. I can't wait until GJ is gone and and forgotten as it will never make the grade to be part of HerStory.

Well for starters - it’s would be “Miss”, “Mrs.”, or “Ms.”, not “Mis/mis”. So that kinda invalidates allot of your argument. Lastly, whether the medium of information (miss-information?) was from a male or female. Wrong information is wrong information, gender doesn’t make it magically better.

I know you cant wait for GJ to be gone, but in the mean time for your sake there are really top notch psychologists here in the USA..have you considered making an appointment? Unless you're joking in which case, I didnt really follow.

before covid JO was trying to buy Flybe and to do European regional flying. So enough money to do that. The man is always looking for another why to make money in a scummy way. Its like rinse, wash, and repeat with this guy.
steps:
1. Come up with some new concept to add to money to his pocket
2. Do some shady ****
3. Get sued
4. Settle lawsuit and still walk away with more money
