Wow...the only shred of hope you all have left is a complete merger of all three airlines. Gee how did someone as smart as JA not figure this out sooner? Oh right, because it's the one idea that is completely off the table. Perhaps if Inc was run by someone who hadn't invested almost 40 years of their life to building, they might entertain the idea. As it is, SkyWest is JAs family business, from the beginning when no one would take it off their hands for free, to what they've built it into today. They sure as heck aren't letting a unionized pilot group dictate how they run their business. Maybe you can all hopefully outlive JA and the next guy won't be as sentimental. Good luck!

And JA is President of the Board. Hard to argue with that, huh?

Exactly. Couldn't be more on the money. All that XJT/ASA's management is doing right now is extracting as much $$$$$ as possible from the aircraft. They are going to sacrifice the pilots' for thier $$$$$. Yet, some don't see it coming. Every pilot there should jump ship, or accept the fact that they WILL be starting all over again. Everything is going as planned for management, they knew the TA would never pass.
It does seem that the top brass has lost hope to turn XJT around, just bleeding us dry. If they really cared, is it really possible to screw up so badly?
