It's nice to see that XJT continues to lead CAL regional feed in on time performance, maintenance, and stuff. Not bragging or flaming... just noticing on how a couple extra dollars does go a long way.
At least XJT is pulling in some extra revenue while carrying Culligan due to the inability to get more of the Qs on the line on schedule. Flying lots of Colgan routes in the next couple weeks to cover for CAL.
What should Pinnacle do with Colgan? Get rid of the whipsaw, and perhaps give the jobs to the pilots that earned the money to pay for the aircraft!?
They said the same things about the Houston operation when it started. It all got fixed and three years later Continental appears to be happy with the results. The same will happen in Sewark. Since some of the XJT flying was re-slotted to CHQ, can we assume Continental wasn't happy with the product cost? By the way, PCL pilots don't want to fly turboprops. Let's not kid ourselves. I can assume what they do want and deserve is a good contract and more money.
