We already have the contract if we want it.

Because we like you say already have the contract. CAL is the owner of the 145 aircraft that XJT operates and will provide SKYW with airplanes. There will be plenty of 145 drivers to hire or we train if necessary and the contract does not start untill 2009. If we buy XJT and the branded operation and/or the rest of the operation gets worse then it can cost more to keep XJT operating than the profit of buying it. We can diverse and operate CAL flying without XJT and in these times it is better to be careful and not go for too much.
Nothing negative ment against XJT or their pilots.
