XJT and Skywest in talks again?

[MYFpilot]

...and the pilot agreement needed to be changed,

You mean "contract", when refering to Expressjet pilots. It's the SkyWest pilots that have an "agreement". A minor but important point.

Its not a minor point. I don't think they do it consciously though. They seem to refer to CBAs as either agreements and or PWAs.

True, they didn't have to. But it was a major factor that the XJT BOD took into consideration when they decided to turn down the offer. Had the pilots been onboard with it, I would guess that the deal would have went through at the original proposed price.

I would agree with you except for one thing. The XJT BOD turned down the first offer before the pilots knew anything about either the offer, or its requirements to change the CBA. The official line was, and remains, that stockholders didn't get enough $$$ from the deal.

Grammar police? Long Time Gone's second login? Excuse me, contract.

Again, here you go with the "my chitty regional airline job is better than yours" argument. You can bet you bottom dollar(and you have). CAL took the lowest price deal they could.PBR

CAL got what they wanted. They no longer have to feel like they are subsidizing the branded side of the operation, and they get control back of at least 29 of 69 airframes they gave up in Dec 2006.

Stock worth $1.15 right now. JA offered three times that initially. I maintain that XJT tried to holdout for a better offer and never got one. Kind of like the Twins did with Santana this past off-season. Also, like the Santana deal, when the crunch was on the offers became less.

Regardless, the BOD knew the pilots would not accept the deal, as stated in the 8k filing, so their hands were pretty much tied in that aspect.

Kinda thought that is what I said. Can no one get in the last word with you?

Thank God. The Holding Letter and Scope clause did its job!
