Xjt is in no position to negotiate, new info came out today that shows Skywest isn't going to keep this offer on the table forever and has a backup place.
I wouldn't count on getting much more flying for your surplus 50 seaters either Mesa is back cash positive and will probably outlast xjt. I'm sure we
will find out more tomorrow.
I suppose you forgot that little thing called scope clause over at CAL, that kinda kills your surplus theory.
I love the with or without you part...really, good luck sending a crj200 to BJX, MEX, SLP, VER, ACA, OAX, YYZ, just to name a few, which incidentally are CAL's most profitable routes on the rj. I suppose the mighty Bro will fill in the gaps....LOL.
31 million loss....wow, check our cash sheet lately? How much did UA, US, B6, CAL, AA, NWA, DAL, loss this time around?
While XJT management may or may not be in a position to negotiate, the pilot group certainly is. It almost brings me pleasure to see how much it hurts some folks here that a pilot group and it's union are the one thing that could or could not make this happen, it's too much fun to see how angry you guys get at the thought of our scope.
