Anyone who believes that seriously needs help. They can make the 900's but to say they have 30-40 new planes just sitting is crazy. They don't even have room to park 30 planes at the plant.
Those rumors where spread to get jr guys to vote yes and it worked. Every sapa rep that promised this growth for a passing package should resign their position if it doesn't actually happen.

People are not wired to cut sunk costs and run. Getting the 175 program up and running was probably really expensive. My money would be that they limp into the autumn reduced schedule and figure things out.
Because this is aviation...Horizon is probably the best place to go right now to be at the tip of whatever they announce the day after tomorrow.
Seems like regionals that look the most bleak transform into "brah, upgradez "

Especially considering that those same SAPA reps are still spreading those rumors. I've seen texts sent by SAPA reps to some captains that I fly with and the claims are seemingly outrageous. We'll see whether they happen or not, but I have a feeling it was all smoke and mirrors to get junior pilots and lifers to vote yes. Also has anyone ever considered that after XJT ceases to exist, someone will be undertaking their CRJ 900 flying? Perhaps SkyWest will be obtaining those 30 aircraft due to XJT's demise.
Pathetic!

Not all. I promise you not all of us are happy to see what SGU has done to LASA/LXJT.
It's despicable that they brainwash newhires to be excited about people's livelihoods being destroyed. They're just making an example out of xjt as to why "unions are bad, look at xjt" as if they didn't have 100% control of what happened.

You know, most SkyWest pilots I've met (at least the more senior ones) have been great folks. I honestly believe that a 3 way integration with SKW, ASA, and us at XJT would have made us an unstoppable airline. It's sad how this played out, and how tools like Dusenwhateverhisnameis are salivating over the carcass of a nearly dead airline. There is zero class and decorum from people like that. Thankfully, those with that attitude are in the minority over there.
