Nope. The point was (is) that, right, why would SKW have any reason to feel resentment toward Mesaba pilots? I'm painfuly aware of the pitfalls of working for a DCI W/O carrier, thanks. At the end of the day, the routes are going to go to whoever DL sees fit to fly them for whatever logic they choose to apply. My point was that XJ isn't some pi$$ant little operator that wormed thier way into the flying. Ergo, why be bitter toward anyone? We're all going to take it in the can in some way before this is all over.
