They're not all fat chicks....remember the girl that got "tossed" a while back was a hooters waitress and inspiring actress.

Right you are. I'm at XJT - and while I fear my company is a sinking ship, I think the entire profession is about to implode. Time to bail!

XJT isnt a sinking ship, its a ship in a draining OCEAN

You must have your speakers up pretty loud, or your hearing voices.
I'm sore from last night and the 7 mile run this morning. Just to be clear, I'm not blaming skywest for those.

I'd say it's almost a forgone conclusion that DAL will not enter into a new capacity agreement for this....
The SLC will go to SKW. Almost zero chance that Inc. will open an ASA base in SLC.
The LAX flying will probably go to SKW...this has been in the works for several years, pending relief from UAL's non-compete clause at LAX (relief was granted a few months ago). The XJT LAX flying appeared temporary from the get-go to anyone who was paying attention...presumably there was always a chance that it could become permanent if it worked out for both parties, and if industry conditions were favorable.
Why SKW? DAL has contractual obligations to SKW/ASA for a certain amount of flying, but they need to do across-the-board RJ reductions. This way they can reduce net system flying, including some no-longer-needed SKW segments in the west, but still keep SKW/ASA at contract levels.
It's remotely possible that they could move another DCI carrier into LAX for the same reason, to maintain contractual minimum flying.

Could be. I think LAX is trying to discourage the use of small airplanes as a congestion measure.

In LAX a DAL FO on the elevator said that they were cutting back on flying in LAX. Cant' remember the SPECIFIC number, but somewhere between 10% and 20%.
The thing I wonder is, was that DAL mainline, or was that to include ALL DAL operations in LAX? Meaning, XJT leaving may have been a part of that.
