It seems like they have no problem undercutting others but cry foul when they are treated the same way. I hope we can stand together as pilots so that both groups can benefit in the future.
True statement. XJT does a lot of flying out of SLC that really DID "belong" to SKW...since the very beginning of the regional industry.
Also the LAX DAL flying was temporary...everybody knew that when it started. It was a convenient placeholder until SKW could get the UAL non-compete rule waived at LAX.
I certainly don't want any CAL flying at the expense of XJT, but SLC??? That's not "XJT's Flying"....get real folks. I'll be happy to see that back where it belongs, thanks.
Also anyone who took a job at XJT after CAL announced the first reduction should not be complaining. Did you REALLY think things were looking peachy in the long-term? Every heard of Air Indy? Hellooo, McFly!
