The truth has been stated, but you just don't want to believe the truth. You want me to tell you that I got turned down by UA or that I made a mistake when I left XJT. Neither of those statements is true so I wont tell you that James.

I am very well liked at C5. I am getting my debt paid off that I accumulated while I wasted a decade at XJT as an FO taking care of my disabled child and his medical bills and paying off my medical bills from the drunk driver that tried to kill me (actually did but I came back). I stayed out of having to file bankruptcy due to the sucky XJT 2004 contract even with your sucky $1.50 raise by leaving XJT.

I made the mistake of not leaving earlier, because I continued to believe that XJT would turn the ship around even though I knew we were constantly being told a bunch of crap that wasn't true. I still have the pictures if you want me to post them.

Now that I am no longer there and am involved at C5, I see the 145's all getting parked in the next couple of years at XJT and it being an all 175 fleet that will have fewer planes flying than they currently have now. The new XJT boss is well known to come in and consolidate or close down airlines. XJT is not going to be closed down since UA is working to the final 4 regionals that will be flying for them. So that leaves him making XJT a one type fleet just like he did at C5 when he was here.

UA is going to be a pay cut for me for the next two to three years. I am getting my financial house in order and I am almost ready to make the switch. James, I would say that I will see you soon, but I don't plan on being LAX based.
