Stating that allegedly a company (LXJT) was in such financial distress and that its pilot group was to blame for this poor status combined with saying that the your airline (LASA) was in shipshape financially and would do just fine in the future had it not acquired said airline surely could use a little reference and backing to hold it's weight.

If you are going to support this supposed bankrupt LXJT rumor, could someone at least prove it? Some are absolutely dead-set on it. So it must be easily proven right?

So what happened between 2008 when these articles were published and 2010 when Skywest bought ExpressJet?

And the XJT MEC turned down JA's offer and XJT didn't go into bankruptcy. XJT gained additional flying after that.

Actually, DAL had already pulled the plug on that flying at that point. That's not the flying I was talking about but I'm sure you already knew that.

And in the meantime DAL was already gearing up to give you the 2nd lowest rates as well.

I'll just repeat what some ASA pilot posted here, "keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better." Fact is that BH has mentioned that multiple times in his weekly updates so has BR on the quarterly earnings calls.

Little birdie told me the rate reset was forgiven by momma D when INC agreed to the 2 for 1 airplane swap last year. I guess we'll find out if that's true in two years.
