Continental COULD get rid of Express 100% over the next 6 years, but they'd be idiots to do so.

Personally I think Express should play chicken with CAL and say, "WE'RE dissolving the contract, and unless you want to find homes for 209 aircraft, and with that, find another 209 aircraft for regional feed, we'd like to renegotiate our contract with you, on OUR terms."

Ream would most likely be fired for doing that, but CAL would be left with their pants down and would be forced sign a more favorable CPA with Express. There's no way they could replace that much lift that fast.

Jeez, I'm glad you're not management. The "playing chicken with management" is a page right out of the FlyI playbook.

Oil is $110/bbl. If we "played chicken" CAL would have us out on the street like that. Frankly, XJT is getting 10% margin above cost on their contract. Regardless of restrictions, they know they're damn fools to screw around with that... it's an unheard of profit margin. How exactly do you want a "more favorable CPA"... You're not going to get a 10% profit margin AND the ability to charge other rates to other airlines... it wouldn't be prudent for CAL to just hand out money like that.

What XJT really needs is for Mesa to Ch7 right away... If mgmt could get their hands on some CRJ-700/900s, they might actually have something to offer.

Have you ever weighed yourself in flight?

Yes.

But the thing that sucks is I continue to weigh the same on the ground.

RIP Flyi...
I hope nothing happens to xjt, we don't need to lose another airline that knows how to treat its employees.

Well, at least he finally admitted it.
