Branded flying closed...

XJ would focus solely on what they built their co on... CAL flying...
Bad news is means lots of furlows (sp?)... but most get to keep their jobs, and the co. lives on...

You forgot the part about CAL being able to put the XJT flying up for bid in 12 months. And the part about SKW giving preferential interviews to the furloughed XJT guys.

Wow. We don't have it good? I work for a company that has not furloughed a single pilot in over 35 years. That's not kool-aid, that's fact. Can you say the same? Now that doesn't mean it will never happen, but we have a good track record for making good business decisions and keeping people employed. How 'bout you?

Too bad the same cannot be said of the pilots it fires instead.

Also, the deal SKW had for XJT, they would have furloughed over 700 pilots immediately while at the same time taking 29 of XJT's aircraft and give the furloughees preferential interviews at SKW.

Furloughing 700 guys is better than closing the doors and putting everyone on the street... but I guess you guys have already made your decision... Hope it works out for you guys, but not looking good..
