Show me a single post where I've ever bashed the company or those that work there. Someone pointing out a COLA at Chautuaqua has nothing to do with a COLA at XJT. It's plain and simple. Different situations exists for each. I've never hated on the company or the pilot group ever. This is a public forum where we're talking about the financial health of a company is a perfectly acceptable topic and one I didn't start. Once it's out there it's out there for public opinion. In the past week or so I've seen post on Delta, Northwest, United, Continental, Mesa, ATA, Skybus, Aloha, Champion, Skyway, Midwest, RAH, UPS and SWA's financial health. The only ones who can't seem to come to terms with what's going on are the few who've been posting here.

Several are saying "Things are looking up" or "Our March numbers are better" or "We've hedged our fuel" but what I see is declining market share, operating in the red, COLAs, dwindling stock, and mainlines acknowledging they plan on cutting more regional flying. The place might be the best current regional to work at and I'll give it that. But it's financial health isn't looking too good. Come down off the cross and stop mixing the kool-aid trying to get the rest of us to drink it.

From the first post about XJT starting branded flying of "We aren't Indy air" to "If any management can do it ours can", "Oh it's operating startup cost", "we're looking to spread to new markets", "it takes time for brand recognition", and "oil is rising" it's all be said. I don't think anyone here has said any of the statements people are making are wrong. Yes fuel cost have something to do with it. Yes start-up cost will always hit someone. All true statements but no matter how you slice it the company is losing money. Some of your post look like the frog in the pot.
