They indirectly affect all of the above by means of the CPA. If they owned us, they would have direct control over all of the above.

It's very obvious, and you're very transparent in the fact that you don't want this deal to happen because of your desire to go to CAL. It's a shame really, it would be a great thing for the profession and for both companies.

I wonder, if it was XJT that set the price. You know, when the 69 airplanes were pulled and XJT submitted a cost structure below CHQ's.

I'm curious if that was what the CPA's cost was based on, not the SKW thing.

You're right CAL doesn't have a say in XJT's structure directly. However since XJT depends on CAL who hold's who's fate?

It's very obvious I don't want this deal to happen? Don't start pouting I don't even understand how wanting to CAL has anything to do with XJT.

Not to down play the CPA itself, but according to Ream (from the road shows), it was the price we paid for getting released from the AFN clause, which will in his words "might help open other doors later"; and for financial pressure relieve on the remaining 30 (non-coex) aircraft.

Yeah, I remember the MFN going away, one of the FEW things that is good for XJT in the new CPA.

Too bad there's not anybody looking for a new 50 seat provider any time soon.

LAX/DelCon.....R.I.P.
