Horizon, SKW, and Eagle are the big regional players. XJet has just opened an LAX base (DCI) and an ONT base (branded flying). LAX should be fairely safe, but ONT may only last as long as the branded flying which is a crapshoot at this point.
Well as of lately our branded loads have been around 70-85%..................its doing very well, and for a new guys if ONT is not "safe" because of the branded, well he along with 100's of other guys would be out of a job..................not just a base, it wouldn't just effect the ONT pilots only
