And yet XJT is one of the CHEAPEST 50 seat operators out there. The CPA that XJT got forced into (with JA's help) is what's unprofitable.

Are you OK with that? I wouldn't be. YOUR 70/90 seat rates should be higher.

You rally can't blame ASA for crappy 70/90 seat rates. After all, WHO set the precedent on getting paid 50 seat money for 70/90 seat equipment? In other words, who said it was ok to fly that size aircraft for crap wages?
Also, wasn't that some freaking coincidence that AFTER ASA got their contract, SKW got a pay raise?
