I don't talk about possible imaginary deals with other carriers and pilot groups.
Sounds like you have looked at the contract. Can you tell us all about it?
No I haven't looked at the contract directly. I have read the reports filed by CAL of how the agreement came to be. Also don't forget that Ream himself has stated how low ball it is and that your pilot group is being asked for concessions.
You don't know as much as you think you do.
All the claims I've ever made are publicly available for anyone willing to actually put down the kool-aid and take a read. Considering the way things have gone down I'd say I was pretty accurate. Of course I've been told for the past 1.5yrs how I don't know what I'm looking at and XJT is doing great
XJT was whipsawed by CAL and SKW and had no choice but to sign the deal or otherwise wind down the company.
First off you still don't know what's happening at Midwest. Secondly, yes I know how XJT was whipsawed but the original poster of that message said something along the lines of when an airline is about to go BK here comes a regional accepting a low contract and how majors are being supplied by "cheaper, eager" regionals. Is XJT a cheaper regional now that they have such a cheap contract with CAL?
There's irony all over that guys post. He's doing his best to try and place blame somewhere and not noticing that XJT is a business just like RAH or any other place and has made the same business moves. Whipsawed or not XJT signed a deal so low that there are about to be paycuts. Multiple opportunities to fix that place and Ream always thought he'd do better going the other way.
