Ah unsubstantiated rumors, so yummy! First off how on earth does anyone know that isn't part of XJT's top management? Secondly, XJT has been scraping by for years now so I doubt they could honestly take a deal at a loss just for the sake of flying airplanes. Unlike SkyWest or Republic they don't have a billion dollars sitting in a bank for a rainy day. The flying will be done for a profit, even if it's a razor thin margin.
