here's something productive...can a xjt or anyone else please explain the non-hub clause. I don't understand or I guess I haven't read much about it...lets try to not fight about this one eh
The first 69 planes that CAL released from XJT's CAL feed were "given" to XJT in the sense that we could do just about anything with them: fly our own airline (branded), fly another codeshare (Delta) et cetera. But what we couldn't do is operate them for revenue into/out of any of CAL's hub airports: CLE, IAH and EWR. Rumor had it that that's why we didn't get the contract to do the express flying for Midwest: since we would have to have told Midwest: we have planes laying around and we'd love to fly for you, but unfortunately we can't do any turns into EWR CLE or IAH - but any other city is fine. Supposedly that was one reason we didn't get the feed and it went to Skywest.
Once CAL releases more than 1/2 of the original 274, then the no-compete clause is cancelled for ALL of the airframes - and we can send those planes to compete with CAL head-to-head if we so chose
hope that helps
