I had made up my mind to leave way before that, but yeah. That’s got to be some kind of record

Hopefully it works out for XJT, there's a lot of great folks still left there.

What’s crazy is, as “crappy” as XJT is, we still lead in all sorts of metrics. We’re still a good work group, and as an airline, still somehow manage to be at the top of the list in performance. Maybe one day, the majors will look at good performance instead of the bottom line.
Yeah, pipe dream, I know.

Getting a real good team of top management at a regional is tough. The job doesn't pay enough (a million bucks a year to manage an operation and employee group this size is not going to attract top talent). You're always second fiddle to St. George's plan for the operation you're trying to manage. Being on a CPA, there are huge opportunities for financial penalties with minimal opportunities to make money. And lastly, around 90% of your most expensive and vital work group (pilots) is actively trying to leave. It's not a great combination.
