Basically it stated shedding the unprofitable portion of inc’s aircraft. Leaving SkyWest at 460 aircraft all profitable and secures our flying with UA and provided 25 growth aircraft as opportunity provides...Oh.. and they have “learned many lessons “...??.. what not to do again i guess..

The profitable part stays, the other part can go try it's luck somewhere else.

Probably the biggest problem "Inc" had with XJT was that they had to deal with their unions and had to comply with agreed to work rules.
Sincerely hope the new XJT competes against us and we lose every contract to them. If anybody thinks we are too big to fail, just remember Comair.

Running flights a day later, over 16 hours late, just to get the FFD is flat out wrong. We have crews with so little experience going into severe weather with no back ground in doing so. When a new Captain is asking a gate agent if he should deice and what would other Captains do in this type of weather is a clear signal that more growth is not going to fix things.
