This wasn't in reference to the mainline. Obviously someone will always win. Everyone can't be a loser. Mainline management, mainline pilots, regional management, regional pilots, and so on.

GO! has always operated at a loss and is an anchor sinking Mesa, so they won't win. Then it was a decent piece of the puzzle that brought down Aloha so those guys didn't win. XJT took a contract with CAL operating at a loss so their pilots didn't win(paycut which is argued that "scum" regionals underbid that flying), now XJT is doing the exact same thing with UAL which could cause the same repercussions to others. RAH, TSA, MESA, and SKW "won" because they were able to secure contracts with a nice profit margin. Now that that's being cut we'll have to see if anyone wins. Anyone capable of seeing the big picture should be able to understand that when one operates at a loss it hurts the rest in both the short and long term.

No because "admitting" to that would be ignorant to what to took place. CHQ didn't underbid XJT for CAL flying. They were willing to operate those aircraft at a loss just like they are now. CHQ has a cheaper operating cost yes, but they didn't underbid XJT. BB won't fly for a loss or at least that's why he recently turned down CAL business in past but we'll have to see what happens with this Hawaiian bit.
