As far as where XJT will be in 12 months, nobody knows. The greatest asset we have is our size. We are the 2nd largest Delta Connection carrier behind 9E and we are the largest UAX carrier by a long shot. That lift is still in demand, and while it can be shifted around and reduced as both mainline partners have expressed, to say that XJT will only have E145XRs or L-ASA will only have CR7/9 in twelve-eighteen months simply isn't the case. There isn't enough time between now and 2016 and there are WAY too many variables at work for this doomsday scenario to work itself out that quickly.

Are we going to be smaller in the next 5 years? Yes, I believe so, but is XJT going to be decimated and 1/3 of it's current size in the very near future? No, I think we can all agree on that. Let's do our best to move forward with a JCBA and see what we can work out.
