Wow, just wow. You are right, all XJT pilots should get on the ground and kiss the earth that LK and company walk on.

Are you doing the same for BB? You don't want to "get too cocky yet". Wouldn't be surprised if the poop storm makes it RAH's way when all is said and done.

CAL paid for those
It doesn't matter who paid for the mods., we developed it, and it's now in our entire fleet, and through our development other companies were able to benefit i.e. CHQ.

You guys cost CAL so much money on denied boarding’s alone the first year. MSP alone was paying upwards of $40K a month as per the GM, and this went on for months almost a whole year system wide. Hey, I never pointed the finger at CHQ, you guys were set up for failure the minute we decided to hang on to those frames. There was no way the CRJ's and the LR's you guys brought (with a two zone weight and balance) where going to replace the XR's or the LR's...CAL and the Reverend did that to you guys, and don’t get me started on your mx record in the coex world…

So we go back to the absolute horrendous scores CAL received the first year of your operation, and the toll the operation itself took on account of such inadequacies set up by your friends at CAL.

With regards to your ridiculous statement about skywest; CAL wanted to bring another player with our aircraft, which would have helped the transition…not going to happen anymore, and if they do end up giving skywest a cpa, they will have to get creative much like CHQ did two years ago.

My advise to you toilet, is stick to what you know, which is the experience of a 1 year f/o at RAH. As you can see from the well deserved replies you got earlier, b.s. doesn’t fly well among those who know better.

TD, you know me and you know i wouldnt call you out unless you deserved it but this time i am going to. You seem to post a lot of negative comments towards XJT, why? it wasnt long ago you were asking me for a rec to get on at XJT, right? XJT is full of alot of really good people that you and I personally know, why talk down to the company that employs many of our friends? Most people starting out in this industry just apply everywhere and take one of the first jobs they are offered, anyone of us could be at a different company based on timing. So it really is pointless to bash one another's companies or even talk down to a fellow aviator regardless of the company we work for. I dont even work for XJT anymore but i found those comments pretty tacky. Had things been slightly different and you gotten your way you would be at XJT right now and would you want someone casting out comments like that at your company? I know alot of others on this board have said some stupid stuff also but I know you personally thus my comments to you. Hopefully no hard feelings are portrayed by this but just remember it could always be you next with this industry. Again just some old fashion, Waco friendly advice

For everyone else bashing each others companies whats the point? Thats part of the reason why our industry is the way it is because there is no unity.

If CAL is entering talkes with Xjet there gonna be looking for rock bottom prices for there service. This is what happend to us at ACA with UAL, and instead of making us all take pay cuts we started Indy Air...Great Success! But it sounds like Xjet Airlines is finished. So now when CAL comes in with some crazy low figure for Xjet it could be pay cuts systemwide for Xjet. Hopefully no furlough's.
I always have to say thanks to Mesa for setting the bar so low that major airlines think all the regionals will serve them for nothing. Thanks again Mesa.

With CAL cutting out 67 mainline jets, this may be really good news for XJT and there quest to get a new CBA.

Huh? Not following. What does the parking of jets at CAL have to do with the MEC negotiating a new CBA?

After CAL's announcement that they will cut 67 mainline aircraft and 3,000 jobs in the fall, I wouldn't get too comfortable with sarcasm and asking ExpressJet if they really think they will get a CPA with your mighty company. Hope you enjoyed training and your first few months on the line. Let’s try not acting superior to your fellow pilots in this industry and remember we all have the same goals.

oh and Toilet.....congratulations once again on embarrassing yourself and getting called out by pretty much everyone on this forum. Hopefully you'll learn soon and just stop posting. Why don't you spend some time trying to better that stellar operation over at RAH rather than coming on here and posting BS day after day. Thanks.
