I said SKYW can get the CAL flying without buying XJT and taking long term risk. Just that. If XJT is not loosing the flying CAL is giving to SKYW then even better. I am glad for XJT.
You are getting the flying from RAH. RAH kept that flying for a year and may now have to furlough. Don't you wonder if CAL is playing you guys right now to try and get our costs down?

As I stated above, you are losing that flying and SKW is mostly taking it over. It's really hard to accept it that CAL used you guys, isn't it? I really think Larry is just using you guys against the XJT pilots to try and get our costs down. This is bad for ALL OF US. On another note though, you guys should explain to the SKW pilots the importance of having one senority list. From what I understand the RAH guys had to fight very hard for that in the last contract. That was a very good win for you guys.
