2. CHQ didn't TAKE your flying at XJT. CAL took it, then put it up for bid. We got it. If we didn't get it, someone else would. Would you rather have a company with no union work those flights?

3. CAL will take more XJT flying. And they will probably give it to someone other than CHQ. And then you guys can all blame them for stealing your jobs. I don't think CAL is really interested in having all of their regional flying hinge on one or even two companies.

4. XJT will begin flying for other mainline carriers. They already started for DAL. I would expect to see them as front-runners in any RFP's should they come out. Of course, that just makes them closer and closer to being exactly what CHQ is now.
