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

but I have first hand knowledge that a certain RJ operators CEO specifically referenced XJT when talking about pay increases and QOL increases for a new contract, telling their pilots to "beware" if they demand such luxuries, they would be in the same boat as XJT in the future.
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.

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?

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

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

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.
