There has been alot of rumors of CAL and XJT merging. Can anyone at either carrier support these rumors as fact? If so, what would the benefit of this merger to CAL and XJT?
 
Never going to happen. The big question would be why? And second I think the SEC would have something to say seeing as they sold them at a profit and then set the price of their CPA which drove the price of their stock and now wants to buy them at a discount.

BTW this rumor is only going around XJT not CAL.

Ever since CAL sold of XJT the "they are going to buy us back rumor" has been going around. The only reason it could make sense would be to get around the scope limit, the annoucement was supposed to take place a few days ago..........it ain't happening.

How would buying XJT get around Scope limits?
 
It would be 1 seniority list as per the XJT ALPA contract, and since it would then be one list they could put whatever type of aircraft on it. I may have an incorrect understanding of this hypothetical but regardless it won't be happening anyway so it doesn't matter. If CAL wants 70/90 seaters they can have mainline pilots fly them. The XJT pilot contract requires the pilot seniority lists to be merged in the event of a merger or aquisition, SkyWest wanted us to waive that clause before they bought us.
 
Make sure it is DOH for the seniority merge! It is what's FAIR.......tic

If CAL really wanted to get 170s or 190s they would just get them if they can't get the pilots to change the scope.

XJT doesn't need to be a part of CAL in order for CAL to augment their fleet.
 
Never happen! We don't need that anchor weighting us down.

DOH, ......well........, maybe then we'll talk!!! LOL
