Ironically Continental will also have a new CEO on January 1, 2010. It is widely rumored that the new CAL CEO will attempt to merge with United in 2010.

United will also now own about 15% of XJT as that was part of the new CPA.

Hmmmm........

Dude why would you want any flying from a good company to be lost? Stop and think before you spill your non sense. If any new flying from CAL is given it will go to the cheapest company and that is def not SKYW. It will prob be Colgan. BTW regional pukes likes you who pump up how great some sh*thole company is why this industry sucks (ref. your profile). Like it or not regionals are going to be the majority lift for domestic flights. You should be supporting your XJT brothers during this hard time. You might be next, keep that in mind.

Talk about a stupid statement.

I didn't say SkyWest would be doing it, nor did I say XJET would be losing any flying. Thanks for all the hate though, 'brother.'

Well, Republic did such a stellar job with CAL that they're all but gone by the end of next year. Mesa's a joke and lost flying to us, 36 a/c worth to be exact. You guys lost your bid for us, quickly. Plus I don't think your management would've liked us working under our current contract, I thought there'd be MANY labor issues. Who'd you have in mind? Considering our current CPA is seven years long? Think first, then talk.

CHQ did a fine job, BB just doesn't want 50 seaters anymore, and CAL isn't giving up scope. That's the long and the short of it, believe me, I know... God spoke to me last night and told me.

Sorry Reverend Bed, but I prayed to my god that CAL pilots wouldn't cave on scope. With the latest shell games Rev is playing, I seriously doubt CAL would be interested in funding a competitor's bottom line down the road. Sorry Bedford, guess my Jesus is more powerful then yours...

That's because you guys are doing the flying at a loss not because you guys have stellar performance. You were 3rd in line for this remember that, the others couldn't do it at a loss. And mesa doesn't have 36 A/C flying for UA so if that is true which it isn't because the published contract was for 22, then you guys are stealing from other UAX carriers.

You guys don't know sh!t about how much XJT is doing this flying for. You guys don't know sh!t about why CHQ is losing COEX flying. You guys are horrible at interpreting what is going on in the regional airline business world, so stop trying to guess. An actual airline analyst predicted that XJT will now be profitable with the new UAL flying.

CX880- What I was trying to say in my earlier post is that UAL will now own about 15% of XJT and I believe that CAL still owns a decent amount of XJT shares so if/when they merge the new UAL/CAL will own a large part of XJT.
