Yea it sure is. Because if SKYW does not buy out XJT, and XJT looses 51 aircraft, they will not be removed from service by XJT until the end of 2009. But if SKYW and XJT goes through then woudnt they just use the existing training program at XJT? Im not sure what was done with ASA, so I really dont know. But with a new acft type wouldnt it be easier to train under that subsidies' existing training dept?
Who knows the MEC is probably being uncooperative, being ALPA and all. I mean how dare those XJT guys worry about their future.
