Perhaps, but I don't think the final verdict is out yet on that. When we know for sure what is happening with CHQ, then we will know for sure if Jerry got played or not. For all we know that could be CALs way of rewarding SKW for their help.
Besides, even if they don't get any CAL flying, what did SKW lose in all this except some time spent by management putting the details together. The agreement also all but guarantees that XJT branded will go away, which may give a chance for SKW to increase their prorate bro flying in California.
