Rumors do abound here at XJT about the 69 airplanes. Some of the best I've heard:
- Flying to Mexico for SWA
-Redoing the airplanes with 19 pax corporate interiors
-CAL will have to contract with XJT for the flying anyway since no other regional has the lift to supply on such short notice
-Flying in Europe
But this is fact: Hiring was supposed to stop in July but it sounds like a class a week through the end of the year. Are they hiring now so they have plenty of people to lay off? I doubt it... Something is in the works for sure.
