OK, I'll stick around a little longer next time. I thought you'd be home all the time now.

Uh Oh...a disgruntled Captain got your ear. (I am willing to bet SWA, FDX and UPS dont' want him! :) ) XJT has lost a few contracts with other companies for a few reasons. One has been that they aren't the cheapest. The boys running XJT know what is going on. You can rest assured that the new ventures are beginning with positives on the cash side immediately. The one exception is the branded flying. Lots of start up cash required but I think over time you will see a nice profit from that as well.
