xjet lost 70 million dollars last year and it has nothing to do with the 11 planes colgan is flying out of newark. If you are worried about colgan's few planes and measly pay, you are going to get blindsided by skywest or republic that underbids the MAJORITY of your flying. Look at the history of XJET and how it came to be. IT started by flying t-props out of IAH and underbidding them to get a foothold.

Your pilot group has done a great job since 02 raising the bar on wages and QOL. I applaud your enthusiasm and understand your concern over losing what has been built over the past few years. Not every company gets to start where your's may finish. Xjet is about to enter the game like all the other regionals where there are 5 or 6 regionals feeding one legacy carrier and they are all cutting each others throats to do so. Best of luck to everyone in the crummy economy.
