I could be wrong but I have a feeling you don't really know what you are talking about.

what would the effect of 275 have vs 206 vs 155? what's the effect with all regional flights at the hubs vs only partial regional flights? In 3 more years how many more planes can be up for bid?

so delta took a $55 million loss from the comair strike? (100 airplanes) that's what you're saying right...

and what position was CAL in over 3 years ago??? it definately wasn't better than now. I think you are missing the big picture here. CAL management has stated several times that they want at least 3-4 airlines doing the regional flying. they don't care about keeping the status quo. they want to change the status quo. my buddy's uses to say that CAL created expressjet into the best regional out their (for CAL) so why would they screw that up and take planes away. they never believed cal would even take the first 69. they thought it was some sort of bluff. oops...

XJT could be stalling simply to explore other options. I have no doubt that RAH is at least looking at the situation. BB would like nothing more than to get 170/175s on property with CAL and with the language in the XJT email makes it look like a possibility. The way these companies seem to work is a "shock and awe" tactic. They just come out of left field with a hard lined offer. I wouldn't be surprised if RJET places one themselves. I'd expect XJT to start a bidding war if anything to simply up the offer price. RAH wants the XJT flying and the 10yr contract with an extension to 15yrs for any new aircraft, possibly Ejets, is something they'd be interested in. Especially with Frontier flying gone. I don't see CAL wanting the 700s.
There's my speculation.... and the winner is?

I don't think CAL will relax their scope. Furthermore i don't think RAH would benefit from buying XJT's aging 50 seat A/C and a possibly lapsing contract with CAL. It seems the benefits SKW sees in XJT have to to with some future contract they have with CAL
