You do realize that there are significant costs to merging companies and that it often takes quite some time before efficiencies are realized, right? Either Skywest's management knew what they were doing and there were significant economies of scale to be taken advantage of, or they didn't and are simply poor businessmen. Skywest is running the show now, so it's up to you guys to implement whatever plans you thought you had for us by acquiring our airline. If it doesn't work, then maybe your management made a bad decision.

But in the meantime, how can we assist you?
XJT was losing money long before SkyWest purchased them and their still losing money today. As subcontractors you can't ask and expect the moon, or do so and then watch all the new flying go to GoJet as you downgrade and furlough.
