XJT will only return 25 airframes to CAL, those LRJ's will be the only 50 seat flying CHQ does for CAL

XJT will announce a new deal with one or more of the following entities: AA, DAL, WN and NetJets. Don't be surprised to see 190's involved.

XJT will remain a great place to work, we already have the best completion, reliability and customer service metrics in the 50 seat industry, not to mention a better pilot/management relationship than anybody.

Best of luck to my friends at Chautauqua, welcome to the Express family, my brothers and sisters.

You entry level pilots looking for the fastest upgrade time are missing the point completely. You legacy pilots who complain that we regionals have ruined the industry are correct, but look in the mirror and or the left seat to see who's responsible.

Anybody who puts any stock in my post or who doesn't take this industry with a grain of salt is in for a disappointment.

Y'all better have a backup job or two ready to go. I have three. What's in your wallet?
