Apples to apples. Both used an inefficient, high CASM 50 seat jet. Products were similar in more respects than not. ACAI was well positioned with a large amount of cash just as XJT was at the inception of our Branded.
I laugh at Ream when he plants this seed that XJT and ACAI are nothing alike.

Um, dude, I was agreeing with you. I said that BOTH used/are using an expensive airframe. But when I said that XJT is better positioned, I meant in the way that another poster brought up. XJT still has a the majority of revenue coming from the CPA with CAL. What is amazing is that a cost plus agreement with 205 airframes can't even break even with 69 airframes doing other things.
When I-Air was launched, it was 85% I-Air, 15% coming coming from DAL with a FPD agreement that ran out on November 1st of 2004.

The DelCon seats need more cow bell.

Lots of good information here. All I wanted when I started this thread was to show that SKW is not responsible for the position XJT is in now. Most SKW pilots have no interest in seeing XJT go under. I would love to see some new flying secured for you guys and have Ream replaced by a CEO that has the employee groups' best interest at heart. Good luck

I don't doubt this. Too bad my FA had to listen to a 120 FO tell them how XJT screwed up the contract with CAL and that he couldn't wait to upgrade on the ERJ while he was commuting home on us the other day. I'm sure he had exclusive insider information as to the CPA and EVERYTHING that has transpired between CAL and XJT. NO, I'm not saying ALL SkyWest pilots are like this, but I think this guy probably just should have kept his mouth shut.
With the exception of SW, that statement is an oxymoron.

Lets face it, CEOs don't have the employees best interest at the top of their list. Although from what I know, we've been treated fairly by JR.
