Yeah, that was reported by XJT on one of their SEC filings last week.

I'm trying to understand why XJT stock is being punished the hardest out of all the regionals. (28 cents today verses Mesa at 51 cents).

Over the past two weeks, over 1 million shares of this stock has been dumped by major financial companies (Strs Ohio, Unionbancal Corp, Phocas Financial Corp). What is exactly going on?

Probably because they signed a deal with Continental that doesn't make financial sense for the future of the company.

I think that in order for Express Jet to make money in the CPA that they will need concessions from every labor group in the company. Mesa, on the other hand, already pays the lowest and JO can turn those cheap contracts into cash for himself, (if no one else).

Convertible notes due August 1 worth $128 million. XJT has the option to pay cash, stock, or a combination. XJT doesn't have enough to pay out in all cash and not enough stocks to issue to pay out all stock. But they have offered to refinance the notes on much better terms.

Help a non-XJT guy understand, what exactly is going on at XJT?

In terms of fleet numbers, further cuts/growth, and pilot hiring/furloughing?

Exactly... Investors know that this company does not have much of a future if they can't change the financial ground they stand on.

Hey Nevets besides furloughs did Jerry ever mention you guys having to take concessions?

XJT is a $.29 right now. I know a few guys who just bought a lot of their stock in the last few days. I'm thinking of buying some myself. Anyone?

XJT Lottery Ticket

If you have any extra $$ laying around tommorow might be an excellent morning to buy a XJT lottery ticket? Even FRNTQ closed at .31 and they are in BK.

As sad as it is, and I am going to get a lot of angry responses for this......

the regional industry is not the place to fight for a ' good contract'......it is simply contract work for larger carriers, plain and simple.

If you cost too much....see ya, its just buisness. ( I dont agree---its just how it is for regionals ) It is contract work and that is it.

The place to fight for a stellar contract is a mainline carrier....get the flight time needed at a regional and move on...I know everyone cant move on, but that is another reality of this industry. Sorry to see people lose their jobs---but your company is only doing a job for someone else.

Umm. most of us are on earth and you are just in a different solar system. what does your post have to so with XJT stock?

 

[lookin4better]

i will add.....the desire to fight for a good contract at a regional is always good!

However , due to the nature of the bizz ( it is someone elses flying ) ...it is what it is.
