They're like locust. Moving on to next vegetation after XJT has been picked clean.

Default Who was the locust?

Financials for the quarter have been posted and they show that express jet was indeed a money pit. Some of you enjoyed the day dream of skywest being evil and taking your profits. Instead the company you hated was subsidizing your jobs.

This is public information.

Who negotiated all the CPA’s for Xjet? Who under bid Xjet? Who sold all of the ERJ spare parts? One answer SKW. I have no quarrels with the pilots, just mgmt.

This is all public information

That public information shows the last time you made money was 2006, which is probably when you were learning to play the recorder. Skywest didn't put in a bid for Express until 2008 and didn't succeed in taking control until 2010. St. George should be the patron saint of those who can't get hired elsewhere.

Most people want to put the blame somewhere. I get it.
13 years of money losing flying doesn't happen unless you are bankrolled.

ASA was making money and was used to make the purchase.

I’m sure SkyWest did everything possible to make ExpressJet flourish.

I still don’t understand how people can go to work for a company that is the industry dirt bag. Literally, this place is the Walmart of carriers, moving onto every street corner thriving by driving down wages and kicking out all others along the way.

I can’t even look at these guys in the face anymore, they are such a disgrace to this entire industry.

Oh but wait, they have West Coast basing....
