I definitely thought the LASA side had a solid contract until at least 2020. (That’s when t was supposed to expire.). That was very profitable flying at one time.
But we saw how that went.
SKYW will definitely close down LXJT. I hate it, but it will happen. They are making an example of what happens to unionized work groups.
Another factor is that SKYW mgmt nowadays is not run by Atkins. I think he had different plans. The new tactic seems to be almost a corporate raider mentality.
