Thank Expressjet for KCM? Thank SkyWest for still having a job.
I don't usually defend Nevets but I will here. The company's profitability is the fault of management, not the pilots. How many CEO/COOs and directors of directors of directors do we have again? How many people have flown a 16 hour 4 day in the past month? There are a lot of ways to make both companies more profitable and very few of them have anything to do with the pilots.
Even if they do choose to cut their losses and shut XJT down it's still due to poor business decisions from the top (maybe not acquiring them in the first place). If they get shut down I'd feel pretty bad for the pilots who did nothing to deserve it.
