I have many friends at XJT and do not want us to take any of their flying. That being said I am disappointed by the attitudes expressed by some on this forum regarding "their" "LAX" flying. It seems they are ignoring the fact that a large chunk of this flying is being done out of SLC on former SKW routes on a pro-rate contract. It seems like they have no problem undercutting others but cry foul when they are treated the same way. I hope we can stand together as pilots so that both groups can benefit in the future.

Also the LAX DAL flying was temporary...everybody knew that when it started. It was a convenient placeholder until SKW could get the UAL non-compete rule waived at LAX.
I certainly don't want any CAL flying at the expense of XJT, but SLC??? That's not "XJT's Flying"....get real folks. I'll be happy to see that back where it belongs, thanks.
Also anyone who took a job at XJT after CAL announced the first reduction should not be complaining. Did you REALLY think things were looking peachy in the long-term? Every heard of Air Indy? Hellooo, McFly!

Maybe you should thank RAH first if you are going to take that route. Guess who wouldn't be in "your" neck of the woods if CAL didn't take away "our" flying for them.
Get off your high horse

The Delta flying in LAX is not temporary! They signed a 2-year agreement to test us out. Again, maybe you should look at why we had to fill in at LAX in the first place. Do you think we just went out and bought 69 new aircraft?
I hope you guys don't represent the majority of the pilots at Skywest.

I don't feel too strongly about the LAX flying, but I don't feel that XJT has any more entitlement than ASA or SKW. Nobody I know at SKW or XJT ever thought that was permament...did you? Really? What have you been smoking? You know we're supposed to stay away from that stuff in 121...
How long have you worked at XJT? Less than two years?

None of this flying belongs to anybody! It is mainline flying that they delegate as they see fit. Get real my fellow pilots. Anybody see parallels between Air Wisconsin and XJT right about now? A great airline that "lost" their flying and bases to SKW because their management couldn't understand that we are independent contractor's for major airlines. We aren't friends, enemies, buddies, chums, cronies or anything like that. We are business partners for the duration of our contracts. Period.

They were "testing" you? Did you pass?

True statement. XJT does a lot of flying out of SLC that really DID "belong" to SKW...since the very beginning of the regional industry.
Also the LAX DAL flying was temporary...everybody knew that when it started. It was a convenient placeholder until SKW could get the UAL non-compete rule waived at LAX.

Hello McFly
, That flying "Belongs" to DAL and DAL gave that flying to XJT. XJT did not "take" XJT flying. However with Skywest INC's "offer" they are taking the flying from XJT.
