XJT to fly 60 airplanes for UAL

What goes around comes around SkyPest!

 

[Bako Cap]

Good for you guys. (not sarcastic)

We have been part of a portfolio for some time now with both Delta and United. Welcome aboard. Too bad you resort to name calling.

Careful BakoCap, so far littlebigman has completely made up this information. I mean completely, totally made up.

 

[littlebigman]

this is not made up information but a fact in the works. might i remind you ual did a test run with xjt a while back and likes our supreme product...

 

[FSIGRAD]

Try and stay off the drugs.......LSD is not good for you, they have done research about that.

The only way XJT could do what you're saying is if 10 were on a CPA and 50 were at-risk. That's insane.

That is the limit until the CAL CPA changes.

 

[Bako Cap]

I would not be surprised if Xjet started flying for UAL. But, I do not think that CAL will be too happy to subsidize another regional operation for another competitor.

Anyways, I am starting to lose interest in the argument for and against a SkyWest buyout (not like I have a choice). Join us or not, good luck. (still no sarcasm)

Speaking of supreme, I gotta call Pizza Hut.

Good for you guys. Although we are not losing flying with United, and it's surprising to think that they would want to expand their regional flying. Now when you say what goes around comes around...that doesn't make much sense, since you guys never did Delta flying before recently, but now you fly out of SLC. It would be more appropriate to say what goes around, goes around. I think that the only way you could get United flying would be to bid so low that they couldn't afford to not have you fly for them. That sounds about right with they way your management works. Your management seems to piss poor decisions just as you seem to reek of arrogance. Skywest is hiring every day in June...doesn't seem that we are slowing down, but stocking up for growth. To all of the express jet pilots that are adversely affected, I am sorry, to littlebigman...piss off.

That's not true. The CPA states that should XJT provide a better rate for another major carrier that those rates would also be given to CAL.

who says xjt mgmt wont give in and give CAL the same deal they give UAL if it means securing a better financial future?

 

[DYLIN]

Whydoitdry -

Good point, I forgot about that.

However I think CAL is done dealing with XJT no matter what the offer is. At least with the current CAL management in charge.

 

[littlebigman]

nothin personal skaff. you are right i am arrogant, after all i work for xjt.

 

[azpilot]

I thought it was 205 airplanes. Post CAL/UAL merger and then CPA cancelled in 2012. So where is the press release???? Hmmmmmmmmmmm

Erj 50 > Crj 50

 

[ToiletDuck]

This would be front page for XJT if true. The investors would be all over this.

 

[Erlanger]

Guys, do you really think UAL would give flying to XJT under the circumstances that XJT is under now. No way, it's a big risk. If UAL and XJT were in talks, I think UAL would wait to see what happens with the possible Skywest buyout and if that didn't happen, the solvency of XJT.

 

[n757st]

Every airline is in talks with UAL... there is an RFP out for 60 aircraft. That said, the general speculation is that it was for replacing Mesa flying, and with the delta decision out there, good luck with that one.

 

[labbats]

I hear a lot about this RFP, but haven't read anything official. Until then it's just another rumor like this entire thread.

when we're all old and retired we'll get to sit down with our grandchildren and tell them about the early days of aviation, when mainline flew domestically.
