Well that didn't take long to get the skyw haters of XJT on here with their doom and gloom and pain for XJT talk. Lol.
What "XJT planned loss concept" are you talking about? They have said airplanes will be parked unless they they can be extended at rates where they are profitable. We have never been told these planes will continue to fly for a loss.
Looks to me like just a shuffling of deck chairs to show the BOD that they are doing something. I did find it interesting that in BH's update he talked about what we had to do operationally to win new flying. Kind of contradictory to what management has said about not bidding on new flying until our contract is done.

She should have been terminated long ago. The product she has molded and is in charge of running is absolutely horrendous. This shouldn't surprise anyone, however. She was promoted to her role after running call centers and catering before that. Just another SMI/J crony from CO who was put in charge of a department she has no clue about running.

Did you not listen to the call?? They said they plan on a loss... But 1Q was even worse to the "planed loss".... But with out the wx cancels they were on target to hit the budget.. The "planned loss"...
This is not a bad thing. Just means they need to cut the cpa thats not working, and negotiate it into a profit.. Chip is good at that...

Red meat for the institutional shareholders. It's just a short term for the sake of stock price. The plan is still to park all of XJT's aircraft and transfer the 700/900 (with ASA pilots and their seniority) to Skywest.

So stating "chip is a finance guy, not good for XJT and the loss concept" really is just flaming. The plan is to park planes or renegotiate terms. Nothing we haven't known for a very long time.
