That is why ASA was doing the Skywest flying out of LAX. One company. I think that is what you are overlooking. Company memo stated that SKYW would not fly the LAX flying for the slim profit margin, and XJT was doing it to get their planes in the air. If you want some secret company documents faxed to you for your proof, I can't produce them.
As someone else said...What does a pilot care what their company is getting paid? The only thing we should care about is what WE are getting paid.
It's bad when lower paid pilots get more flying...overall it creates a downward pressure for wages. In this case XJT pilots were making more than ASA pilots. XJT pilots weren't "undercutting" anyone.
I swear I think on these boards people focus on how much their company makes yet fail to notice how much they themselves make. "WE MADE $22 MILLION!!!!" yet this guy makes less than the other guy so who really cares?
