Especially considering that those same SAPA reps are still spreading those rumors. I've seen texts sent by SAPA reps to some captains that I fly with and the claims are seemingly outrageous. We'll see whether they happen or not, but I have a feeling it was all smoke and mirrors to get junior pilots and lifers to vote yes. Also has anyone ever considered that after XJT ceases to exist, someone will be undertaking their CRJ 900 flying? Perhaps SkyWest will be obtaining those 30 aircraft due to XJT's demise.
Pathetic!

Not all. I promise you not all of us are happy to see what SGU has done to LASA/LXJT.
It's despicable that they brainwash newhires to be excited about people's livelihoods being destroyed. They're just making an example out of xjt as to why "unions are bad, look at xjt" as if they didn't have 100% control of what happened.

You know, most SkyWest pilots I've met (at least the more senior ones) have been great folks. I honestly believe that a 3 way integration with SKW, ASA, and us at XJT would have made us an unstoppable airline. It's sad how this played out, and how tools like Dusenwhateverhisnameis are salivating over the carcass of a nearly dead airline. There is zero class and decorum from people like that. Thankfully, those with that attitude are in the minority over there.

Skywest is a business with all the business things like...*customers*.
Our customers decided to renew (buy) a smaller amount of flying than they had before.
Xpressjet is transitioning to a dual class fleet and even then they are hopeful that United will have to keep the 145 lift with new *profitable contracts*. Profitability is a business thing too.
Inc block hours have been shrinking yoy. United has selected other airlines to fly the 145. They sure aren't at skyw.
