Skywest Boy, don’t you have another fake TA to go vote on? Who cares what you and your fellow SGU bootlickers think.

Yup. Only way for XJT to have a chance of survival is to get outta the SGU Kool-Aid drinkers shadow.

I had a good conversation with your old Mec chair... he moved on. He knew that even a UA buyout wouldn’t mean your now flying for a “major” .... I wish you guys the best of luck. And yes OO should have never have bought XJT... The damage is done. I hope all these rumors are true and you guys get a fresh start.

Our old MEC Chair was a crook. Not sure where you would have talked to him. He didn’t “move on”, but rather was fired.

Times are changing, and it is time you Skywest pilots realized the leverage you have. Time to stop riding on the coat tails of your fellow pilots.

This. Our old MEC chairman was lucky he was permitted to resign by the company. He was under investigation by both the company and ALPA national. I think both just wanted him to go away and avoid the embarrassment. He did so much damage we will be very fortunate if we survive.

I feel like we go through this anticipation of good news every month or two. Any credible evidence that it's something real this time?

I asked that myself; everyone’s more interested cryptic doublespeak to sound credible. Like they’d get sent to jail for posting unsubstantiated facts on an anonymous rumor mill.

Probably because someone mentioned having a conversation with him. Those of us who were here won’t soon forget what he did.
