SkyWest Inc. allows XJT to run as its own standalone carrier and then the profits, more like losses, go back to St. George. If you think differently then you’re a conspiracy theorist with his head up his ass. Also anyone who tries to compare the worse Airline Tycoon in history who used junk bonds to purchase and destroyed multiple carriers and welcomed strikes in order to destroy his labor groups against hands down the most successful people oriented subcontractor CEO in history is ignorant. Jerry’s not perfect but you can’t name one CEO in our industry who has his track record. Go ahead and use the typical forum board BS rhetoric about how I’m drinking Kool-Aid or must be Mgmt. but the bottom line is Jerry’s damn good at his job and loves his airline and it's people.
All posters ever do is sit on the boards and armchair quarterback Mgmt. while lumping all CEO's in the same pool. Fact is there are different tiers of CEOs. On the bottom you have the Ornstein’s, then a rung up you have Hulas and Bedford but alone at the top is Jerry. That’s a fact that most refuse to concede. They'd rather rank them all as bad because they love to hate and as was said before, haters are always going to hate and misery loves company.
