Thumbs down XJT Financials

XJT posting ZERO profits may equal no bump in contract negotiations. We just signed a five year deal, and still no profits? Who wants to work for an airline that has no extra money to share with its employees?

Inc is conveniently profitable. And what a surprise, they share those very easily earned profits with their non-union folks.

It's all a numbers game. You have to wonder what that 3.5 million other income line item is on their earnings release. They wouldn't elaborate on it during the earnings call. They could very well charge XJT $10k a day for an office chair and it be completely legit. Guarantee XJT will show a profit the second a TA gets passed. Classic management games and only common business sense.

Nailed it. Guarantee XJT is paying some of SKW bills. Continental screwing over Eastern comes to mind.

It’s sad, but this is how it works.

As a subsidiary, you are very vulnerable.

Accountants can make the numbers do what they want-and they are gonna make the numbers look good for inc. whatever that takes.

Look what happened to ASA. That tells you all you ever need to know about your parent company and the way they choose to do business.

You guys have been making so much money that they’ve been returning airplanes to mainline and lessors for years.

It works both ways. Pilots are conveniently choosing airlines that have the resources to share with its most important shareholders - its employees.

It definitely wasn’t the pilot groups fault management signed these zero profit CPAs. Unfortunately pilots have to endure the aftermath. But supposedly that all changed January 1, 2018 with this new deal. The pilots aren’t that much more expensive, it’s just been crap CPAs. And if they truly aren’t making money, then they should shut it down completely, chapter 11. Who in the right mind would keep a business running at a constant loss.

It was all the fault of those pesky ERJ Pilots....
