Well Lets not get all crazy now, I am the biggest fan of xjt we all know that, but they have said in the past about announcements, what I mean to say is there were previous dates where they were going to "announce" something but they didnt. Maybe it was for legal reasons, but I am hoping some good news is on its way, I love working here and want to continue

Why on earth would delta who is chp 11, give xjt JUST 10 planes out of a base that is dominated by skywest who is cheaper and has the people and infastructure in place. It seems like they are trying to put the squeez on skywest. BUT SKYWEST IS NONUNION AND WE FLY 700/900s FOR LESS THAN ANYONE!! Why the hell did jerry allow this? Maybe we ARE getting those 80 planes and we need 10 50s to put on the midex side so we don't get swamped with those 80 from the rfp?

My guess is some of the legs are the new routes that people are talking about. Notice, TUS-ABQ-ONT-BOI-GEG-MCI etc. Basically most of the places you mentioned (were those a guess or did they come out in a company news letter?). They are probably going to those places to set up operations there.
Nothing about SLC, and I would assume they would visit if they are setting up a domicile there, so I would count that rumor dead, at least for now.

I will second the LAX base. Here at ASA they drastically reduced the expansion out in LA. It is basically a forgone conclusion from many on the top here at ASA that Express Jet will be the new Delta Connection out in LA. You have then planes and are willing to take a fairly good hit just to have them fly and make some sort of revenue.
