I think there's a corporation in a town called Bentonville, AR that would be better served to move their HDQ, too, right?
Wait, I thought that was XJT? Or are we one company with one CEO?
One List!

Despite the fact that I will leave Skywest I still have pride in my job and want the company to improve.
If every employee had a "screw this place I plan to move on" attitude the company would fail pretty fast. Look at Expressjet and Endeavor.
I'm not sure why that even has to be explained to you. Are you really that sheltered?
Just to add, xjt was not like that before Skywest bought us. So I see what you mean. But once you stop worrying about how others know how crappy your airline is now, the less you think about it and put more energy towards getting out. That's not to say that you shouldn't give your job the honest day's work and stay professional.

Come to envoy for a few weeks and see what a real circus is like!
Well, our CEO did just that. Demanded huge concessions. Luckily we voted no to those concessions.
