I don't think you understand the meaning of the term whipsaw...

I don't think he understands a lot of things.

Presuming you're referring to SkyWest pilots, you're facts are wrong. We presently have 1469 captains, and 1398 first officers. The majority of us have already upgraded.

Need I say more....! I love it when they come and show their TRUE COLORS!!

 

[JoeMerchant]

Even a probie can afford that! You've got yourself a bet.

Your on.....when is the arbitration award expected?

Are you on first year pay? You must have it all figured out. Are you all lined up for flow through with NWA?

First year at a mighty regional like peanucle. MSP is a pretty sweet base but I would rather have Memphis. More affordable for first year pay.

Peanucle is the place to be.:uzi:

My "sources" tell me the end of the month.

Umm, no. I was at Pinnacle for over 5 years, but left almost a year ago. I'm on first year pay at AirTran. Better than first year at the legacies, but still hard to get by.

Careful PCL.... Joey will bring his g/f, Danny Ford and the whole RJDC gang.....next thing you know a couple of 'rounds will cost you a few Bennies...

Who knows maybe Fins will show!!


Does Spondivits have egg nog?

 

[PCL_128]

I'm OK with Fins, but I ain't payin' for his older girlfriend. Gotta draw the line somewhere.

Sounds like you guys are already resigned to the fact that the PCL rates are going to be less than the Skywest rates....

Naw, I'm just messin' with you Joey. I'm pretty confident that they'll be better. It doesn't take much to beat them. I'm expecting a couple of bucks more than the Skywest override rate.

I seriously doubt that SkyWest will be "acquiring" XJT. XJT is not Skyway or ASA for that matter. XJT is a much larger company with pretty strong financials (at the moment) and almost 300 a/c. A merger seems more likely to me.

The financials are technically strong at the moment, but the actual market value of the company is tanking further and further by the day.

Also, I think the size of the ExpressJet operation is exactly the reason you WILL see acquisition and not a merge. There's too much to move over to one certificate......whereas aquiring, tweaking the business plan (i.e, getting the hell outta self-branded ops), and allowing ExpressJet to continue to run with few true operational changes is likely the way to go.

However, the more I look at it, doing away with the branded operation and possibly using those aircraft for charter ops (like XJet is already doing) could makes this more of a merge...

Then again, it's 1246z, I'm effin' tired, have a head full of wx and NOTAMs, and unable to piece together a sentence.

ATRCA
Xjet stock as of Friday; $2.30 (not very strong)
SkyWest Inc. stock as of Friday; $25.01 with over $700M in the bank. Then there can be a triple whipsaw in house. Yehaw (sarcasm).

 

[samballs]

.....sorry, should have said "700/E170"..... Better? I think you know what I meant....

Funny how they got to that position, maybe because of other companys going into BK
