So I'll concede this much, better skywest than any other regional. Happy now? I'm happy because now skywest has to deal with the mess they created rather than some other regional.



Our CEO was doing whats best for the shareholders, just as our current CEO does, nothing more. And what I'm talking about is being whipsawed by a cheaper skywest pilot group. Thats the only reason why the CAL CPA ended up losing money. Hence, skywest bought it and now they own it. Our pilots have nothing to do with running a sustainable business. We show up, do our job and go home. But if your idea of a sustainable model is cheaper pilot labor, then I would rather not accommodate that anymore. We did that already while still maintaining better compensation than any other regional pilot group. For me, it couldn't have turned out any better since those responsible for our loses are now dealing with it. Poetic justice. If management wants to save more money, don't come us XJT pilots, go to the two sets of management teams first.
