Everything previously discussed conceded on the XJT side, minor reserve improvements for ASA, and vacay low still exists, but only for 1 month, not both when vacation straddles months. IPs apparently get a large bump.
Apparently management also threatened to transfer flying to SkyWest. Again.
So how would that work when you have contractual agreements to fly those 66 planes with a partner? You just tell them "hey, we are parking 66 aircraft that we operate for you, so go ahead and give it to one of our competitors." Shrink to profitability?
