He just got all this for $44 million when you take XJT's 90 million in the bank. I love how people think JA is loyal to SKY over all else, he is loyal only to $$$$,[edit:delete language] I am convinced he never went away from 3 years ago, he just waited while CAL bleed us to death and got it for half the 08 price. Guy is a about business, not pilot groups!!!

Not to mention he has a 10 year deal to control 70% of the flying at UAL that only goes into effect if the deal closes. Your on drugs if you think he is going to walk over integrating 20% of his pilots with the other 80%. CAL doesn't want to have to recreate XJT, they just hated the old management and wanted a new operator who was more predictable.

SKY will be Union in five years anyway!
