You see, tper, we're trying to take food away from you and your families. If you starve and die, it's less competition for us later down the line. Why, you may ask, did we choose XJT instead of SKW, ASA, or any of the myriad other regionals? Simple: that's where the dart landed.
Apparently you guys thought it was a good idea, because you seem to be doing something similar to another DCI carrier out west...

Huh?

POPA you make no sense most of the time.

No way!!!! Skywest will left Mesa die and then pick up the pieces that they want. Mesa being gone will leave a big hole for everyone else to fill in. Not only Skywest.

Well, many of us wondered why SKW didn't take this approach with XJT. Why buy now when you can wait till XJT goes CH.11 and get a fire sale on it?

Well Tpersuit, POPA is utilizing a literary tool called verbal irony, also known as sarcasm. :D

His post is aimed to be humorous because the underlying idea is that some people actually equate airlines bidding on flying other than that which they currently operate as "stealing." We all know that not to be the case but sometimes we can all be a bit defensive.

While I generally disagree with Jet... he is spot on on this one. Its not OUR flying....it mainlines to distribute or award as THEY see fit.

Although it won’t last long, I'm flattered Herc. ;) LOL!

SkyWest got played like a fiddle; CAL mgt simply used them to get XJT to lower their rates.
