To even try to guess you'd need to know the status of their contracts, who owns their planes, etc. How much can the contracts be cut (they usually have a hard floor, with optional flying mutually agreed on in good times)? When do they expire?

XJT has another dynamic to consider... their pilot group has a long history of being a thorn in the side of whoever owns them. On one hand, as a pilot you have to give them kudos for sticking up for themselves. On the other hand, they may have already self-selected as the next COMAIR... the regional game tends to pick off the leaders of the pack (or those who want to be).
