Double immoral!
It's business. It has nothing to do with morality.
They are not mutually exclusive. There are many immoral business models. This is a real simple one to spot. Some others are more complicated, covert and insidious.

Your pilots seem to hate us a lot more than anyone at SKW hates you. I'm not really sure how the two pilot groups are pitted against each other. It's more like XJT pilots think you're pitted against SKW and SKW pilots don't care.
Like people have said above, it's business. The XJT side is hemorrhaging money. It wouldn't be good for a corporation to merge the two sides until the financial situation is stabilized. You can call that immoral but it's true.
If Skywest pilots don't know we are pitted against each other by our CEO then they are either in denial or naive. The Skywest compensation and work rules have been used against the xjt pilots for over 6 years now! That is a fact!
Like I've said in other posts, you don't know what you don't know and your post proves my point. And just because it's business doesn't mean it's not immoral to pit your employees agains each other just to make a bit more money off their backs. He has never had the intention merge us. It's not in his nature to have all employees pulling in the same direction, on the same team, with common interests. He rather just watch us compete against each other on our compensation. That's just not right regardless of whatever corporate excuses you make for him. Stockholm syndrome much?
By the way, all the synergy savings they touted when buying xjt and merging it with ASA are doubly true for a merger of all 3 airlines. But our CEO prefers the immoral business model over saving that money.
