CAL to rebid all XJT run ground stations
The word on the street that came out yesterday is that Continental is rebidding all XJT ground ops looking in favor of lower costs and a new handler....
CAL all ready rebid 5 stations in Louisiana last month that were awarded to Eagle worth $8 million instead of XJT....
I guess the beating XJT is taking from CAL will continue.....
CAL guys....any more info on this?

This will be great for on time performance and fuel savings. Kind of like the ICT station. They work the AA/AE flights first while we sit there with #2 running waiting to get marshalled in. I wonder how much money that saves.
Unfortunate for the loyal XJT workers. Another blow XJT takes from CAL.

Not really, I don't have the exact figures, but is less than 5%. Everyone's in the process of taking a beating. It's funny how some folks think their company is impervious to the current forces driving the market.

Another significant source of money is Kellner's $7M / year. 350x more than a XJT FO.
Bitter? Nah...
