No one wants to be left holding the bag. I'm considering a lateral move (20+ years) because the radio silence is deafening. Not one person in the Association or company side can answer anything with any certainty. It's like we're bacteria in a Petri dish being studied...almost mocked. And it's probably quite humorous when you're the one with stock options..

Caveat lector- As long as we are owned by stInc, nothing good will happen at this airline.

I don’t think it’s legal for an announcement of this kind to be first made on an employee conference call. It must be released to the press first.
Also, during initial negotiations, there is no requirement for disclosure. If SkyWest or United want to talk about this on their financial annual reports, then they may have to disclose, but UA and SkyWest don’t release their annual reports until mid to late February.

Like the saying go, you should buy when there’s fear in the markets. Buy low, sell high..... just recognize you’re taking a chance your strategy might not work out.

I don’t have a crystal ball for what this announcement may be but I do have a few thoughts on the matter. If United does buy a stake in XJT, it would be akin to the same type of investment in CommutAir. There will likely be no “flow through” agreement as UA ALPA is strongly opposed to this. Skywest wants to shed what’s left of XJT for obvious reasons but this threatens United’s feed. A purchase of XJT by United would only serve to sustain that feed in the short term. Longer term, who knows. I wouldn’t get your hopes up for any flow agreements, combined list ect.. I worked for ASA for 9 years and I’m trying hard to get everyone I know out of there. Good Luck to all of you!

Conference call tomorrow Thursday 4th at 6pm. It will be very interesting to hear how many pilots would dare to ask management about the big rumor. Likewise, it will be even more thrilling to hear what management response will be. I do no expect any admission to the rumor tomorrow; however, would they deny it straightforward. Would there be any hesitation, inflection, when challenge by this sort of questions? Will see
