It's a shame that some SKW pilots seem to put themselves on a high horse when it comes to this buyout, acting as if they're the "victors." Unfortunately I even have friends working over there who fall into this trap. Remember that nobody is immune from the effects of this industry, and that even though SKW is doing well now, doesn't mean that it'll be fine forever. Considering both UAL and DAL posted the biggest losses of any air carrier last quarter, don't think that those contracts will always be there the way that they always were. Everyone's in a position to have a really bad year, not just XJT.
