I never said 170's were on their way to CAL.

I said "EMB". Technically speaking, if I meant 170's I would've used "ERJ" since the designation for the 170 is "ERJ-170" whereas the 145 is "EMB-145".

Every carrier grows at the expense of other carriers. Deal with it.

XJTr’s,

I am absolutely thrilled that you guys get to stay independent. I’m also thrilled to see that your MFN clause has been lifted so that your company can start to diversify itself (maybe more UAX and some USX in the near future..........? Hmmmmmmmm). It's never good to have all your eggs in one basket, as you guys have found out.

I’ve said many times and I'll gladly say it again...........I can see a future where SKW, XJT and RAH; in all, control 70+% of the regional flying, and that kind of future looks pretty damn nice.

Congrats and best wishes.

JJ

Agree, it business and unfortunately it’s never fair. But with XJT’s MFN clause removed (congrats again guys, huge WIN) there's now another predator on the block licking their chops waiting for Mesa's contracts to expire or be canceled.

I'm glad that you get to keep your cal flying. I just find it interesting that at the same time your ability to eventually grow will most likely come at someones elses expense. it makes me chuckle...
