Actually I would likely benefit more if XJET were left alone to be disassembled by CAL since the SKW group would probably gain flying.
I don't think JA wants contractual freedom to remove your flying, I think he simply wants to avoid a pilot list integration.
I don't think we are opposed to making a deal with Jerry. We are opposed to just taking parts of our contract out and trashing them without getting anything in return.
We'll see what we can bargin for. They probably won't go for one list but we should at the very least ensure that XJT flys any aircraft that shows up as a result of a converted option, prohibit the company from shrinking in aircraft if SKYW and ASA grow, and fight to keep certain bases open for a definable period.
