One thing I think a lot of people are missing, is I personally think CAL wants to reduce their RJ flying by a lot in the next few years, doesn't matter if it SkyWest or XJT, I think in time CAL will pull down their regional feed, them using the "threat" of taking it away if we don't go through with the buyout is their way of scaring, or forcing us into this.......They may keep more around initially if this deal goes through, to prove a point but in time they will pull it down further citing some lame excuse like "cost competitiveness"

again just my opinion
