But like I said, I think that is very unlikely anyway, except for maybe the 59 700/900s in a worst case scenerio. Then 590 pilots would go to Skywest with seniority and longevity. Also, if there are any furloughs and under a bilateral flow agreement, those pilots go over as well. Again, only talking about a worst case scenerio. Now, if aircraft transfer from Skywest to XJT, pilots only go if it's more than 5 aircraft in a rolling 12 months and it starts at aircraft number 5, not the first aircraft transferred. Like I said, people are negotiating on your behalf and against your interest. And you guys don't even know it. What are you going to do about it?
Wow, internet tough guy, spouting the same junk that you have for years here and on FI. What am I going to do about it? I'm going to go to work, buy coffee and beers for my crews, take care of my passengers, be polite to my gate agents and rampers, and be friendly to XJT crews and every other crew member I encounter. Like I always have. And I'll remember that SkyWest Inc.'s laywers are smarter than your ALPA committee and our management is leery of any backdoor deals (which is why any MESA deal involving DOH seniority mergers was DOA years ago), so "negotiate" away, I'm not staying up late at night worried about getting bumped by an XJT captain, because there is ALWAYS a loophole. Stop worrying about us, we can take care of ourselves, but you guys should be worried; SkyWest Inc. is getting heartburn every time they have a QE call because they have to defend the XJT operation to angry investors.
