XJT DIDN'T take a concession to secure new flying, specifically UAL's flying.
I understand that. My first point was that CHQ didn't underbid XJT forcing them to bid lower thus operating at a loss. PNCL, XJT, and SKYW all offered bids that were cheaper for the initial flying. I guess because PNCL and SKYW didn't have 145 programs and CAL wanted to diversify from XJT that CHQ was their logical choice.
