Not at all.
We have great captain attrition. A healthy contract that was just extended giving pilots and management some stability for years to come.
No one knows what is coming, all I can tell you is that hiring has been steadily INCREASING over the last months. The question is why???
-Has attrition increased? Maybe marginally.
-Has amount of aircraft increased? No
-Has block hours increased on aircraft we operate for CAL? Yes
-Will aircraft removed from CAL service be flying for XJT in Q1 '07? Yes...lines are already out.
What has caused us to go from 64 new hires per month to over 100 for Jan and beyond??? Your guess is as good as mine....
Just stating facts from the very busy training center.

stock
what airline isn't down 40-50% from their all time high right now??? you need to look at the most resent trend.
XJT's stock closed at 8.71 that is the highest price it has been in 2006. it has almost doubled since Jun/Jul '06. I personaly feel that there is alot of stuff in the works with XJT and i feel they will make the most out of this.
so yes it is effecting the stock prices. in a good way.

Hopefully we will start furloughing again early next year to make everyone at the other regionals happy. It would greatly help everyone elses contracts if we go the same path as Comair and Masaba.

But don't forget all good things come to an end. ( Pan Am, Eastern, United, Delta, AWAC?)
