I know you are new at XJT but thats one of the many many rumors floating around regarding the 69 aircraft. The running joke is if you haven't heard a good rumor lately, start one.

really, just relax people...in time we will know what will happen, till then it's just a guess.
you haven't even passed ground school yet, so this crap should be the last thing on your mind.

good point, however if I can get through ground training on a SAAB then I will have no problem with the erj

Good luck...you'll have to beat AWAC on a bid in their own backyard.

With what cash?

XJT has 244.26M in total cash according to the last 10-Q, with 153.49M in debt. Compare that to Republic Airways Holdings, which has 162M in cash and 1.41B (as in billion :eek: ) in debt...and Midwest Air Group, with only ~99M in cash and 47M in debt.

I wouldn't bank on XJT getting this flying any more than I would bet on AWAC getting this flying...but you've got to admit, CRJs currently in the desert are a helluva lot cheaper than XJT's new lease payments to CAL.

Just heard XJT for sure did NOT get this flying. I guess not being able to fly to EWR (cause of agreements with CAL) didnt help the deal. Good luck to AWAC.
