Okay, my fellow CHQers. I guess it's time to let tpersuit in on why we're okay with stealing his flying.
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...

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. 
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.

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