ASA/XJT New Name

[www.]

Assuming for a moment for argument sake that this is true, it still doesn't change the fact that Skywest bought ASA and then they bought XJT and then they merged us together.

Man you need help. Get over the ASA Skywest thing. It's a done deal that you can't change.

I'm over it. Just correcting those who aren't.

Yeah ...right.

Yes, I am just correcting them.

Two huge points that are being overlooked......

1.) It doesn't matter, in any way, whom bought whom. There is no benefit to being aquired vs. being the purchasing entity. Don't throw a hissy- it's just law. Legislation was put in place as a direct result of the USAirways/AmWest merger that prevents this.

2.) Skywest Inc. isn't going to spend or lose money on us. If we don't make money between XJet and ASA (combined into whatever you wish to name us), we simply won't exist. Waiting for the big Brinks truck from St. George, UT is a waste of time, best spent re-aligning personal finances in prep for future unemployment. The sooner you have this concept grasped, the less heart burn you will suffer, and the longer you will live.

Skywest Inc. execs are in the business of making money, not managing airlines- the two are mutually exclusive, as far as they are concerned.

I think the uniform stuff is a financial decision, I mean buy new stuff for 1600 dudes or 2700. I'd pick the cheaper option too. I find it curious though that they are changing the stripes to shiny gold over time. Hopefully they are thinking ahead. i.e. all carriers merged.

Just note that because they are (eventually) changing the Expressjet guys' uniforms as well (to shiny gold), it actually would have been cheaper for the company to change the Expressjet uniform to the ASA uniform. So either the bean counters can't count, or more likely they just want us both to feel "new" in the interest of unity. The SKYW rumor is more fun to believe, though.

It's more shallow than you think. One of our "leaders" decided that he'd rather we all look more like Delta pilots.

And dude, money's not a factor here unless we're discussing pilot fatigue, work rules, and salaries. When it comes to blowing it on bullsh** like uniform stripes, yearly rebranding efforts, Aceypalooza, etc. we have all the money in the world.
