calmwinds, there are many more joys in life then spending most of your days on a regional forum (judging by your post count). At the end of the day you have to ask yourself, does it really matter. Does any of it really matter. It's just a job. The airlines treat us like a number, we should also treat them like a number. There's far too much bantering on here; just pages of garbage. If XJT or any other airline closes, oh well, people will adapt. If it survives, they get to keep collecting the paycheck until the next adventure. But, we had a good run.
