I look at the contract with it’s outs in January 2019 —- which probably means everything SGU has planned has fallen through —- as a positive. It means you will know where you stand in February 2019 a little bit better. That is only 5 months away and worth the wait for many.
If the 175’s come, that will stem some of the CA departures. The 175’s and the up to $40k in signing bonuses will attract new hires that might have not given Xjet even a look. Once you start growing your pilot base again, good things will happen.
I love it. xjet doesn't even have 175's on property but now rumors are already starting that they will be taking airframes away from Republic and Mesa? There is a real possibility the 175's never even make it to xjet. What did SGU have planned that fell thru ?
