I don’t want to sound to optimistic in times like these but the initial feeling is that XJT making out pretty well considering what is happening across the industry right now. It appears that United investment is propping us up for the time being. Obviously that could all change tomorrow.

Big problem. The bailout is only for the major not the regionals

Facts are we are all f**ed, and I want to think it'll be short term, but as of right now there is no airline doing better than the other one, because it's not an internal thing they need to fix. It's a problem we have as a country, society, a public health situation.
I'm at Skywest, known for being business savvy and having solid finances.....guess what, we ain't immune to all this, and changes are being made.
Go read every single thread about every regional. It's not a matter of IF but a matter of WHEN.
Trust me when I say I'm on the optimistic side of life, and I think we'll go back to """""""normal""""""" before the end of the year, but yeah, nobody is doing better or not too bad. Read about what's going on United, then figure out facts.

I agree. Just saw an update that Xjt pulled two 175 off line and that in itself will create staffing issues coupled with schedule reductions from the mainline. I know we all want to know what’s next but I’ve come to the conclusion that it is not my business and to let the industry worry about the industry. I’ve got a few bottles of drink and a garden to work on.

Per SH email, it’s on hold. The wholly owned or partly owned in this case seem to be weathering this better. That could change in an instant with the breakneck speed of things.
