Thats just the surface of the issue. The real issue no one is really talking about, and that has to do with skywest trying to expedite the process of this merger so that the CAL/UAL pilots have little time to negotiate regional jets back onto their property, IMO. I think that is why CAL and SKW management are in bed together right now. Just think what a 10 year CPA would do to the UAL/CAL pilots efforts, it'd be quite a set back. Why else would skywest be knocking on our (XJT's) door?
