Just look at the latest move. All ASA 200 go away... Ahm, go to OO. And ASA gets a bunch of old UA 700 from OO. Operating a dual class aircraft probably makes more sense at ASA than the 200. What we should be upset about is giving 700 flying awy.
I don't think that is the case either. I think management is looking for a "formula" where Xjet is profitable.
By the way, Xjet didn't just get old OO 700's. Many of their 700's came from other regionals who are downsizing 700's and are nicely equipped.
My comment was responding to "how do these rumors start?": basically unhappy pilots make for nasty rumors.
