xjt going at it on their own...

[trip]

I'd like to see where/how any airline could pull out 40+ airplanes to server all the markets and go head to head with xjt with those all so valuable ff miles. It might be a risky venture for xjt to sell tickets, but with the cal cpa they could lose 200 million with branded flying and still post a profit for the year.

How do you do this?


XJT holdings>
For the year ended December 31, 2006, net income totaled $92.6 million, or $1.56 diluted earnings per share.

I hope it works out for XJET. I have several friends that work there and don't want to see them get burned. I've been burned at my last airline, so I don't want to see anyone else for that matter go through what I went through.

I hope your managment gets this one right. Don't put too much faith in your Mgmt team though. They signed a CPA that put 25% of your fleet up for bid in 2006. Won't another 69 airplanes be up for bid in 2008?

Is it true that the airplanes lost in the CPA can't compete with CAL routes or at places where CAL serves?

That's net income after expenditures for the 4th quarter ONLY. Expenditures were very high getting ready for this branded flying operation. Operating Revenue for the year was $1,679,697,000 (for anyone from Mississippi, that's almost 2 Billion) and Operating Income after all expenses was $141,071,000. Considering they spent $109,372,000 on the new ventures, the guy earlier wasn't far off when he said they could absorb that loss.

Dude, seriously! You are new around here. Just relax a bit. You don't have to be XJT's biggest internet cheerleader. Gonna put you in the ground early to come on here everyday and argue with folks who are clueless. Go to work, have a good time, and relax about all this stuff. We work for a solid company, are paid well for what we do. Let the chips fall where they may.

Hey boss,

Dont know if you caught it but the sarcasm detector needs to be on. I was just giving people a hard time. New around here? What makes new and old? Does that make you old? I could care less what people think in all honesty. It wont change anything. But i do follow whats going on with my company because its my career and no one is looking out for it but me. So I stay up on issues because it impacts me and my family. I am upgrading very soon and evey "supposed" rumor impacts that.

You are new around here.

so you didnt answer does that make you old then?

I have been working for XJT longer than some and not longer than others. Still means nothing. To each their own. :beer:

What he means when he says "old" is are you an 8****? Everyone knows those 8's are crusty

Spokane to Kansas City??? Sounds like a real cash cow. . . . .

You sound like the real expert. You probably don't realize the amount of money and big business in each of these cities and the others XJET is opening at. Austin is the Texas capital and has lots of computing companies. ONT (obviously near LA is busy), SAN is another prominent venue....etc.

How do you think people get from GEG-MCI usually? Do you think its so rare that among all other connecting airlines not even 15-20 people per day do this trip? It IS reasonable in a 50 seat jet.... Time will tell.

Tell me about it. I had a hot FA tell me that if she saw my employee number on her trip she'd try to drop it since all the 8xxxxx's were old. WTF OVER? I guess there's always someone younger and prettier than me!

Ahh, and here's the kind of complete ignorance of our (XJT) situation and business plan that makes threads like this so entertaining to read.

Our management didn't sign any CPA that allowed CAL to take airplanes. Quick history lesson: We were wholly owned and then spun off. The terms of our contract were basically dictated to us becuase it was CAL who owned us and was selling us. Our management had about as much say in our contract terms with CAL as a I do with the IRS on my tax rate.

Some of my most favorite captains are 8XXXX numbers. I was just being a wise ass.. It's not about being too old, but rather about being fun and competent. If you were IAH based, I'd have you on my "preferred list". I've heard enough good things about you.

...blush...thanks man. I was just making a joke about being a 10 year regional guy. I guess its been a long time since the 23 years old stews have thrown themselves my way But as for fun and competent, I don't know man, you should see me for those 6am shows!
