Is it the desire to dump the 200s or Skywest ensuring adequate staffing on their equipment? Why are they letting you guys, seep away per se?
L-ASA I couldn't wager to guess as I wasn't on their side of the company.
L-XJT: Skywest is letting the contracts time out because we are an expensive pilot group. They've put little effort into recruiting and the pilot group is very top heavy. Also their letting United remove tails and place them with cheaper contracted companies. As a result there is little movement in the list.
The only reason I can see is the expense part. We have amazing D0 and CCF numbers.
It sucks when you see an exXJT XR tail at TSA or the likes. The XR and sans airstair LRs were L-XJT specific birds.
