Qualitatively that is true. Nothing is going to make bookings roar back to 2019 ... 4 times higher than they are now. But a vaccine could certainly make them double in December rather than June, which might make the difference

If there is any constant in the universe it's the short memory of Americans. The second we have a vaccine that works, assuming that ever happens, people are going to take it and not look back. Six months after that everyone will be saying "hey, remember that big virus scare we had?" as they go back to wiping their ass and then touching their toothbrush without bothering to wash up first.

Yep, and travel will eventually return to 2019 levels. However by then XJT will be long gone and the 50 seat jet will be retired next to the ATR and the 120.

Needed this laugh, thanks. It's funny because it's true!

Everyone is in survival mode. Nobody is out to intentionally hurt XJT (other than skywest). But yeah, throw a kink in the operation, that’ll help. Brilliant.

Skywest is trying to (ruin)* you giys? They offer a better product and have the staffing to cover the routes. I’m sorry but you guys (*did this) yourself, take some responsibility

You don't work here and, as such, really don't know what you're talking about. SKYW created a Frankenstein with the hatchet job they did of merging us with ASA. They never shepherded that process or were even present. Then they got ****ed and started bleeding us dry when, surprise, surprise, the merged company didn't perform to expectations. None of this, by the way, was the fault of front-line XJT employees. We're all probably going to lose our jobs now. So why don't you pound sand.

You are clueless.
You are either uneducated regarding our history with Skywest or willfully ignorant. Our downfall began when CALs Smisek began trying to diversify their feed and cut costs by gutting our cpa. Prior to that we had impeccable stats as an airline and were universally praised.
Skywest gets a lot of positive press because they keep Wall Street happy. As an airline, they are simply average.
Try the search function. You might be surprised by what you find.

You are either a Skywest shill or ****ing clueless as to history.
