Do I think they should be running separate operations, no? But it is what it is...it's not our management team, is ExpressJet's management team. They are separate operations.
Who do you suppose negotiated the CPA's that ExpressJet operates under and loses money on? Hint: they work in St. George.
Both our individual entities (ASA and XJT) were profitable and thriving before SkyWest swooped in and "saved" us all.
