I think the biggest problem with CM is that he has held the position too long, giving him a tendency to miss the forest for the trees. Too out of touch with the line pilots. I really believe these paid, full time ALPA positions need to have term limits.

The E145 CPA is probably hampering revenue as well, which ironically, Skywest Inc did to themselves
Profitablity of the contracts seem to lean heavily on performance incentives, hence the reason management is going crazy with all these nexlev mind meld meetings after horrific performance this past quarter.

I think the ASA crj is losing money, hence the merger. Rates were lowered just before/after the acquisition and continue to be. Being attached to ASA is like arranging deck chairs on the Titanic with Uncle Rico steering us into an iceberg. Love their talk about "economies of scale" and "power pricing because of our size" yet they then say we cost to much blah blah blah FUPM

What I understand is the XJT fleet/crew utilization is at an all time high and where we are most profitable.
