I was walking into the headquarters building today and saw Menke and Jerry Atkin (CEO of Skywest) walking out together. A couple higher ups in the training department that I shared an elevator with told me that Jerry has been seen a lot around headquarters this week. Could the announcement on Friday be that we're being sold to Skywest??

interesting development. malted barley and hops speculation here, but what if Jerry is in town for some sort of announcement for friday? An asset sale of 900's would be ok for skywest, but the q's wouldn't do much good in the short term. Skywest would take at least six months to write manuals and get approval to add q's to their certificate. But if they bought a certificate with q's, the sky is the limit. They purchase the colgan cert lock stock and barrel along with the options for the 30 other deliveries, and they are up and running. pncl goes cash positive in the deal and Menke walks out looking like a savior. haha, i love beer night speculation.

Skywest tried to buy XJ for the 900's already, Delta wouldn't let them. If the Q's are not making money and United doesn't want to renegotiate, I don't see why a company that usually makes money like Skywest would want them. How do you know it was Atkin? What does that guy even look like and how did you recognize him?

At the rate OO has been picking up the flying XJ and 9E used to do, it would seem fitting. PS... You mean malted barley and hops.

Question now being would the employees associated with the Colgan certificate go with the airframes? One day a Pinnacle Holdings employee the next day a Skywest Inc. employee... how would this work with the contract? Is there any language pertaining to this type of hypothetical deal?

I'll let it slide. Remember that Beer is important and must not be trivialized.
