Yes, many of us would rather start over at another regional. Not everyone thinks SKW is the bee's knees, nor are we willing to hold our noses to put up with the stench from Inc. Aside from that, if Endeavor does pass their TA, the difference in pay would be peanuts. Call it cutting off your nose to spite your face or call it sticking to your principles, I don't care. Over the years, I've built up a fairly successful side business, so I can afford to leave Inc's pittance on the table. If Inc really wants us, they can look at a 3-way integration with ASA, SKW, and XJT, and real recognized representation (doesn't have to be ALPA). Till then, we'll all keep bailing to greener pastures. May not be a major right away, but it sure is better than the bottom of an unrepresented list

Some guys do believe it. I never did, especially when the "investor notes" all saying 100.

Make almost the same at 9E, upgrade almost instantaneously too, fly only dual class equipment with a probably better schedule ....
This isnt as clear cut as one might think.

It would only be a two way integration now. The XJT ISL of ~2200 pilots and the Skywest list. And any representation (or lack thereof) decisions would be decided by vote of all the pilots.

What is the word on a real Atlanta base? Is Inc. waiting for the XJT base to close? Crew-room space in Atlanta is in short supply and I can't imagine them having a mixed Skywest/XJT crew-room. That would be an MMA event.
