It was more than just 2 ceos not liking each other. XJT has always been a burden for cal as not only do they own their aircraft but still have to pay a high fee to have them flown. Given the history it seems CAL is either trying to put you guys out of business or just get rid of you.
Its no secret that XJT is in financial ruin, every quarter is loss. XJT’s new ceo also specialized in taking companies in and out of bankruptcy. It seems that is the only thing that could save xjt right now and that’s why I think they got that new ceo.
I hate to sound like a broken record but the XJT mec made a big mistake not making a deal with skywest and allowing the buyout 2 years ago. You guys would be in much better shape and have a much better future.
You need to do more research on this subject, and more research on XJT. You are unaware of a lot of facts. I wonder how CAL felt about republic flying CRJ200's (also 50 seats) for them? Oh, thats right, they are gone now. XJT quickly replaced that flying too, hows that for being a burden. The only burden for CAL is the 50 seat scope, otherwise XJT provides an awesome product for cheap.
