Blah, blah, blah. I've been telling you for a year that you have no idea what back room deal SkyWest Inc signed with United, and you keep parroting about "your" "First Right Of Refusal". Well now it seems "your" 70 seat opportunities are going elsewhere, yet your EMBs are still expiring. This is a big order. Do you really believe UAL will turn around next week and order 30 more for you? Please. This is it. You missed the boat.
The only good thing to come out of this, is maybe management's gross incompetence in losing this bid will cause them to miss the 1 year deadline to place 70 seat aircraft at XJT, and thus negate your massively concessionary arbitration award. I was certain that these planes were going to L-XJT. I'm shocked they're not, and now, it's anybody's ball game... except yours.
