Skywest takes profits from Pilots hardwork and buys airline in Brazil.

I'm really confused Rez. How does investing 5 mil take away anybody's job. Last I checked SkyWest doesn't have a crew domicile in Brazil. If SkyWest did would you be senior enough to bid it? Would you bid it?

Lastly, 5 mil would barely cover a few old Bro's plus spares so I don't think there's any danger of SkyWest shipping their assets to Brazil.

Pure troll bait. Nice try though.

Probably more than SKYW pilots did to stop this.

Then why didn't/couldn't they stop these corporations from being formed? Or were these somehow good business decisions?

Regardless what they did, my point was that it was probably more than what Skywest pilots could've done to prevent it IF they wanted to prevent it. Being good business decisions doesn't mean its good for pilots. The attempted buyout of XJT by SKW is a perfect example of that. And guess what? The XJT pilots stopped that one!

It wasn't the BoD that did that?

Skywest buying xjt would have been the best thing for you guys. Ask ASA. Nothing but good things have happened since SKW bought them.

They turned down the first offer. There were negotiations afterward between the BOD and SKW. Then the BOD told SKW they had reached a point in their negotiations in which they needed to negotiate with the XJT MEC if they wanted to maintain their contingency of relief of scope and removal of the Holding Letter. In reality, SKW could've pulled the trigger without letting the XJT pilots have a say if they would have taken them with their contract as is.

I personally think it would have been great for everyone if only SKW was willing to honor the pilots' contract as is. It really is too bad.
