I would love to see you guys use whatever leverage management gives you I order to change the trajectory for the better. This is your chance!
Damn and I thought I was quick, lol, you quoted me before I could correct a few things.

My friend the bar has already been lowered. IMO, at best we can only maintain. We at Inc. (SkyWest and XJT) are well above the bar like a giraffe sticking up out the top of a train as it's speeding toward a tunnel. This industry is driven by mainline and as long as they’re writing the checks they will always search of the" most efficient" contractual feed. Don’t you when it comes to putting a roof on your house or choosing a TV provider? What happens when your TV provider’s rates creep up beyond their competitors?

I know this will infuriate many but I don't want to be the highest paid; I want to be competitively paid so my Mgmt. team can compete, win new flying and retain current contracts. That’s far more important to me than making a few bucks more per hour.
