Obviously xjt was NOT on its last leg as xjt went on for more than 2 years after that. Every quarter the losses shrunk. Xjt got flying for UAL and were about to get the U.S. air flying in phx until Skywest nixed that and took it for themselves after they bought xjt. As for Skywest employees subsidizing anything other than your own low total compensation, unless you took a concession, you haven't subsidized or given anything up to anyone. In fact, the cash on hand at xjt when Skywest bought xjt has been the actual subsidy. Which is why they haven't been in an urgent hurry from day one to get this merger finalized. It's you who are trying to revise history. I had a front seat on all this and this is how it went down. And the fact that you blame pilots for our supposed stubbornness is telling and typical of Skywest people. We voted down concessions but we haven't said no to anything else they proposed to us that has improved things, albeit marginally. And the erj side has been negotiating implementation of PBS before a JCBA. If that's not a show of goodwill I don't know what will convince you Skywest people that none of this is the pilots' doing.
