Counting your eggs a little early. The CPA LXJT is given the 1st right of refusal. Never say never.
Which is precisely why I used the words, "That's true but if there are bigger airplanes coming as part of the CAL CPA." Meaning that if Skywest and CAL come to an agreement as envisioned in the CPA, those aircraft are required to come to LXJT. But without pay rates for larger RJs, Skywest would have been unable to submit a bid to try to exercise that part of the CPA they paid to negotiate for. Now that there are rates, Skywest is no longer beholden to the ASA MEC's ultimatum to move forward with their business plan. And that is what Texan Aviator is alluding to. Skywest is no longer hostage to them. I don't see them giving the ASA MEC any leverage by giving these CAL aircraft to the ASA side when they pulled their ultimatum stunt.
And of course, if RAH or MESA wins the bid, then none of the Skywest airlines will get any of those aircraft. So if that's what you mean by counting eggs, that's not what I was doing. This is a reality no matter what. It goes without saying.
