Will it last? Who knows, but I don't have control over that. Any of us could be gone at any time I get that, but I will continue to do anything I can to better the profession until we go under. My point is out of all the other regional operators out there, Skywest is the only one I would want to be associated with from a financial standpoint. People always talk about the 50 seaters. Well, there will always be some need for them, and to quote the earnings call, it is Skywest and XJTs hope that we will be the companies used to fill those voids, however much smaller they may be in the future. ExpressJet hasn't lost money in 3 months now, so I'd appreciate it if people still stuck on that bandwagon would get the heck off. Mark my words, we will show a profit as a whole in Q2 and thereafter.
I am there with you with regards to there is more to life! But man please stop drinking the coolaid, Eagle has been profitable for years (but we are the most expensive pilot group)! AMR has made money for the last 2 months if you do the math but the Unions are probably going to get their contracts trown out or sign horrible contracts! They do with the numbers what they want... Keep the good vibe, and your eyes open
