Anyway, I'm really hoping what ends up happening is that SkyWest gets all of the XJet routes, but loses some of its eastern ops in the process, then Comair picks them up, Art calls me and gives me a class date before I sink into oblivion, I start training on the CRJ and finish my 300 hours of IOE, and spend the next 20 years of my life as an F/O. Because that would be a heck of a lot better than the outlook right now!
