How do you think SGU drained Xjet of DTW, ATL, and DFW bases? The CPAs were up and SGU simply transferred the XJT flying to SKW. With XJT hemorraging, SGU had to do something to shore up XJT.


You clearly don't understand the TA 20 deal! And the planes are not coming from Skywest!

SkyWest only has 2 more Ejets to be delivered this year, and 3 deliveries are deferred until 2020 at Alaska's request. Do tell about this struggle to staff ORD?

They will come from Mesa.

Ah. So, they aren’t the 25 new Ejets after all?

Tell me precisely in the TA language where it has to be any specific Ejets....

Look at SkyWest largest, yet junior base. Reserves are no where near any western base.

Actually, reserves are pretty close to most western bases and even look on par with SLC. Plenty of days with full coverage too.

So, an FO can expect to be on reserve in ORD for a year before holding a composite line? My buddies at SkyWest in both LAX and SEA are having that experience. Enough about SkyWest. They are going to lose 175’s to United’s pilots soon enough.

Dude, I have no idea. And neither do you. Let’s wait and find out.

Let's all wait until first week of January and we will know FOR SURE! Once the last AA flight is completed everyone at XJT will know their future... :D;)
