No need to drag religion into this. Business vermin of all faiths are equally skilled at beating labor to its last breath before stopping just before you're actually dead, like all good slavers.

A lot of SKW pilots are on same page as XJT and were quite pleased our TA died because they knew they were next on that chopping block.

Yep. A lot of management trolls trolling here. Not even the normal trolls Slats? Where are you? I miss you. Too many new (obvious management) jokers.

None of these regionals wants to be the first to crack. Gonna be even more fun to watch, but I hope it doesn't take as long as I fear for the shakeout to happen.

Silver has a 50 percent washout rate? What happened?
Silver has space shuttle training, they want you to engineer the plane. Most of the peeps they hired were pilots that had problems even on the GA side and now throw 121 flying and it's a recipe for disaster.

I guess that makes you a Southern Baptist along with the rest of the Westboro clan.

Even though we're all one big family, at the end of the day the SkyWest guys in general seem to only care about themselves it seems like.
Sounds like a little brother complex. Some day the little brother realizes it was him imagining it all along.

Now we have to resort to bashing religion? Not LDS here...but generalizing that is like generalizing everyone at XJT is a tool just like you. And man you wonder why you can't get your 'brothers and sisters' to take a stand and help you out.

Just remember, "every flight counts," coming soon to an ExpressJet employees wrist near you.

I bet you thought those guys liked you and you were one of them. Little did you know you were nothing to them. You were just a little punk ***** lackey. Your opinions mean nothing to them. All your ass kissing means nothing to them. You make yourself look like a pathetic loser. I am very familiar with people like you. I have zero respect for your kind.

Fast forward to the present. Here you are now on the interweb carrying the company water as though the people you work for gave **** whether you lived or died. You are a number dude. The only thing that makes you relevant to your management is your ability to move a plane from point A to point B. If you had a stroke tomorrow I wouldn't expect a card from them.

Now back to your management ball washing.
Because now their single management team controls the majority of both Delta and United's feed

This!

SkyWest bought ASA about 1 week prior to Delta filing bankruptcy. Delta saw a LARGE cash reserve at SkyWest and made them "an offer they couldn't refuse". Basically, buy ASA and we'll give you a new, long term, CPA. If not, your current agreement could be "modified" by a bankruptcy judge.

Also, there's no way to compare one business unit's finances with another's. There are TONS of ways to move revenues and expenses around business units in corporate finance (in both SkyWest's and Delta's enterprises), for their own reasons.

Very true that is why never agree to financials that are not filed with the SEC.
