If you are an XJT pilot, those are not your company's own aircraft. Every single one painted in express colors is owned/leased by UCH (page 27). UCH buys all the gas. UCH leases the gates. UCH pays the landing fees. UCH owns and sells every seat. At the end of the day UCH simply pays XJT to hire crews to operate the aircraft.

Although it calls itself an airline, at the core XJT is just really a employee staffing company and it's profitability is based on the difference between what CAL pays it and what XJT pays it's employees.

And yes, we are working on taking the flying back. Perhaps you noticed that the UAL and CAL pilots are in the middle of contract talks and scope is one of the next sections at the table?
