Something else no one has mentioned is the terms of the cpa between CAL/UAL and the new XJT. You see folks, J.A. is anything but stupid, when Skywest inc. bought XJT, JA made sure that it would be a long term deal. The public documents released post the announcement of the merger indicate that if they (CAL/UAL) pull one 1 rj, it has to be replaced with something, on a 1 by 1 basis. So for those of you that like it simple:

Per the CPA:

UAL pulls one RJ from the XJT 145's

XJT gets 1 whatever (700, 900, 170, pick your poison).

So I ask again, my fellow embraer drivers at XJT; what's the rush? We're not losing any flying anytime soon, the crj guys are. Let the pieces fall where they may first, then we'll talk shop.
