Trust me, I've got a couple things lined up and few other options I'm working on as back up plans. But while I'm here, I will continue to point out this immoral business model. And no one who matters to me questions who I am, what I'm about, or where my priorities.
You didn't ask to be part of this immoral business model? Yet you asked for a job at a regional airline.
Even if you were there back in continental express days when you would have had a number at continental, when that got stripped away you should have seen the writing on the wall, when you went into bankruptcy you should have seen the writing on the wall, no you sit on here and complain about the whipsaw and how it is going to bring the airline down and you are ready to help sink the ship, you can obviously see the writing on the wall. So I hope you can see that you did and still are asking to be part of this "immoral business model" if you are still there working for that business.
First, I'm not helping sink anything! This is ALL on Skywest Inc management! Next, who was in bankruptcy? Lastly, when I say "immoral business model" I'm not talking about good old American capitalism in which independent companies compete on product and service. What I'm talking about specifically is our CEO pitting one set of his employees against another set of his employees while simultaneously giving himself thousands of shares of stock and asking us to take pay cuts. All in order to subsidize the cost of two management teams and their staff, the cost of two infrastructures, processes, systems, departments, two of EVERYTHING. Just to perpetuate this immoral business model so that he can do it to us again the next round. THAT'S the immoral whipsaw business model I'm referring to. One in which I did NOT sign up for when I applied to work here. So while I'm here, I'll will (among many other things) "sit on here and complain."
Do you honestly endorse that horse $hit?

According to United's Fleet plan, all nine of XJT's E135s will be parked this year, and a total of 34 E145s will be parked in 2014. I am under the assumption that CHQ is parking 27 E145s, so by this math (which I'm not certain is right), xjt will loose 7 E145s in 2014. Two were parked recently.
Only a dozen of CHQ's 145 were operating under UAX. The rest were for AAG.
