Any idea if there is a significant overall reduction in flying with the 2 events listed above (Saipan Operation and Apple vacations),
or if some new contracts have emerged to take their places.

Thanks.

Just heard thru the Grapevine that Xtra will be shutting down in early May 2018.

Anyone have any intel on this ???

Very sorry to hear this for all concerned.

Swift picked up all assets and contracts

For any XTra pilot's that are looking to make a move to the airlines, Piedmont Airlines will be in MIA next Wednesday March 28th at the Cambria from 10am-3pm for an open house and conducting on site interviews for anyone interested. They are currently offering a $21,200 sign on bonus with immediate upgrade for people with an ATP and 121 experience. They also have a 3-5 year no interview flow to mainline American.

Ceasing operations May 6th according to a friend who works there.

Southwest opened their window today for a couple weeks.

Did XTRA shut down or are they still being sold? Any rumors?

That leaves 1 737-400 aircraft, to keep the air carrier certificate from going dormant and being lost. The certificate is up for sale, and all Xtra airways flights should be winding down this month, per the article you linked too, additional reference below.
