First XE (ASA) CR7 heading to GoJets.

Yes, but I don't have an employee ID with my 703xxxx number on it.

Understood. When I said employee ID, I meant employee ID number. The 70XXXXX number should work with the EV code. If I were you, I would give it a test next time you're jumpseating to see if it works.

Yes, using the new employee number works, but the problem is without an ID that shows/matches that employee number many gate agents will not allow you to board. Sure your picture will pop up on CASS, but they will question why your ID has a different employee number. It seems fishy to them.

Sure, my only point was that if your EV code isn't working that's not good since it should be.

Maybe with their big projected loss, and no seemingly simple fixes to stop the bleeding, SkyWest Inc. has decided that perhaps additional cost savings are attainable via a complete merger with the "Valley Girls" out west?

That sounds plausible. With Expressjet hemmorraging money maybe they decided a merger is the only way to stop the bleeding. Or slow it at least.

Is a unionized employee group REALLY as expensive as the losses we are racking up?

Yes. The whipsaw is a powerful cost management tool.

You people still care what happens at this dump? Amazing.

Maybe, if I happen to be thinking about it at the time. Like I said to you, it doesn't matter to me. The way it works now is fine by me. I'm sure the day it doesn't work, it'll occur to me to try the 703XXXX number and see what happens. For now, I can give a rats a$$.

They will end up losing $25M+ this year. Maybe if that goes up next year it'll change the cost benefit analysis? What did they make in 2010, almost $100M? That's a swing of almost $125M!

Skywest should cut ASA and exjet loose so they can start making money again...

Who would buy XJT? I think Skywest is stuck with XJT now.
