come on.... think for a minute...... do you think starting up 24 stations.... ticket counters, check in machines, gates.... hiring and training many new workers there.... getting a web site set up and all the other TONS of IT stuff involved.... painting and putting XM radio in 40 some planes..... bunch of other stuff....

..... all this stuff is just free?

there are all these initial expenses to get going before a plane even took off...

I'm not an XJet pilot, but I think you guys have done a class-act job in your stand-alone operation! Was just in OKC and you guys looked great! Very professional! So I hope you reap the benefits of your investments (even though you're the competition). Good luck!

The street doesn't seem to think it's such bad news. Check the stock price for the last day or two.

Stock price is up...Company just invested in painting and reconfiguring 69 aircraft, buying ticketing machines, gates, training all the associated personal, buying ground equipment etc. The company spent alot of money investing in the future....And as someone noted above, they're trying to make it a quality product.

Any logical person could have seen lowered profits coming, if this is a suprise to you then you're extremely short-sighted.

Its only going to get worse as more money is taken out of the Cal flying and put in that branded hole. Also the delta flying being done for atcost in LA of all places will hurt them more.
