Don't fly off the handle...this is not an emotional argument. I was addressing someone who was CONSIDERING xjet, not someone who currently works there. You are already along for the ride, and can't do much about it, but let's be honest...
69-11 = 58 airplanes x 5 crews = 580 pilots...that's a lot of people, and a modest increase in CAL block hours for the remaining airplanes will not account for that many. Maybe you haven't been in this business long enough to understand the rumor mill, but it I can guarantee you that any speculation that's not in an official company press release is just science fiction.
Any way you slice it this is not good news...until another codeshare is officially announced.
