Of Course we would :).

Thank you for answering my question instead of overreacting like full reverse. It was a simple question and one that I obviously didn't know the answer to.

Full Reverse, ease up and understand that not everyone is out to bash XJT!

Unless it was your CEO, you don't really have "first hand" knowledge. Which regional was this?

It sounds like your submissively dragging RAH into this COLA deal Xjet is working out like we're waiting in the wings to "steal" your flying. Nothing is further from the truth. If you're referring to something our CEO said, I must have missed that one. He hasn't said anything about contract negotiations, period.

Of course, if something bad does happen at Xjet, it's gotta be RAH's fault. :rolleyes:

Never said it was RAH RAHs CEO, it wasn't, I have not bashed any group by name, in fact I have propped up RJET by quoting the fact that their pass through costs will leave them sitting pretty with high fuel prices, while such fuel prices will greatly affect the bottom line at XJT.

And you're correct I misused the term first hand information, it was second hand via printed form of a message from their CEO. I'm not saying who, because I am not going to point fingers, or out my source.

I have also not opined on SKYW, never made a single comment toward them, I think it is others who seem to be experts on XJT that get defensive about their own airlines. Feelings of inadequacy?

I've never claimed to be an expert on XJT. Actually, I usually go out of my way to tell everyone (RAH, XJT, SKW, ASA, Comair, whoever) that unless you actually work at the company, you probably don't know what you're talking about. I hear plenty of things from my close friends at XJT (good and bad) but I don't bring them up here because I would not know what I'm talking about...I don't work there.

And I'm not defensive, nor do I feel inadequate. :D

It would not have surprised me if it was RAH's Bible thumping CEO. He's had it in for us ever since we didn't let him and Kellner get their grubby mits on our shiny XRs:D

Nobody steals flying.

It is assigned by mainline.

What on earth are you talking about?

Some airlines are offering time off w/o pay. QX is doing it for the RJ guys, possibly due to the other a/c that has "jet like speed" as an addition.

Are you kidding. There's definitely something to it. People being asked to leave without pay is huge.

You're right...he's been sitting around trying to figure out how to screw over XJT for a year and a half now. Get over yourself :cool:
