You're welcome. As Chip Lorenzo gives xjt no growth, gives you xjt's -200s, bases and geography, you get win-win-win. It's nice to be part of the family.

What they usually do. It's all legal under the TPA which amended the fragmentation language in cba07. We're at the mercy of SKYW,incs compassion, regardless of the fact that our ml partners appreciate us.

I was the most optimistic in the company about our future until a few months ago, but now it appears skw is transitioning our operation away. Fortunately there are a lot of other places to go if it becomes necessary.

Pretty sure most of your loss of dying went to TSA, the 200 flying we've been getting is on the delta side. Plus it's hard to assign flying a company that's bleeding pilots. They will have to do something, it's no secret that 50 seater flying for United is going away.

how do you think management keeps pilot interest into a non union house, F+++ everyone else they own, as skywest is doing.

Rather intriguing read, is this thread. People not being able to get an interview back in the day; nowadays just send an application and await a call bearing good news within a week.

That's why i bumped it. And was curious about current attrition. Things change so fast. I applied at OO on a Monday afternoon. Got a call at noon EST on Tuesday. Interview 12 days later. Things move quickly. Almost too quickly. I would like to interview at other places but time is crunched.
