I don't hate ASA guys and I haven't talked to anyone that does. I know the "we bought you so get on board" attitude rubs us the wrong way. And it's because of the implications of that comment: those people were all too happy for us to take concessions in order to consummate the merger. And to this day, well yesterday on this thread, we still get the we bought you line from some ASA guys, when it's not even true anyway!

As for profits, like I said, no one has ever denied Asa's profitability or XJT's loses. But no ASA guy here has yet to agree that that is no one but Skywest's fault for negotiating crappy CPAs. That's not placing blame, that's stating facts!

So if making the point that Skywest bought xjt and that the loses are not the fault of the pilot group is whining to you, then I don't know what to tell you.

For example, who is just whined about not making money, not working with others, throwing blame around, and supposedly wanting to drag the whole thing down? I don't hear any xjt people complain nearly as much about what ASA guys supposedly say than I do the other way around. And if you do hear it, it's mostly about the MEC itself. Us xjt people just try to counter the false accusations spewed on here.

I don't remember personally insulting you but if I did, I apologize.
No you didn't, a couple others have thus far. I'm sure there will be plenty more.
