I also wouldn't want to work for our current CEO without an enforceable contract. After all, JA has an employment contract. Why shouldn't his pilots enjoy the same privilege he gives himself?

Don't worry though, HK would never go for it anyways. It's just an idealogical position I have that I'm true and honest with. Its more of a thought exercise than anything else. I have more hope that we get one list here than with HK at his circus.

Come on. Look what a cluster RAH is. Eagle gave up huge concessions and a 14 year contract to combine 4 and it got them nowhere. Pinnacle crashed and burned. We're next. Regional bargaining power is only a fantasy when you don't own the code and your name isn't on the tail. Bigger doesn't solve anything.

BH Update:
Last week we made the difficult decision to cancel the Best of the Best awards and other programs because of our current financial position and our struggle to become profitable. As you know, in the first quarter of 2013 ExpressJet posted a significant quarterly loss followed by a second quarter loss. High costs coupled with lower-than-expected performance lead to lower revenue and decreased incentives paid to us by our major partners, which means that we are continuing to lose money at a time we had planned to be in a much stronger financial position. Because of our financial position we have elected to curtail spending on programs that do not directly relate to the safety and/or operational performance of our airline. It is clear that a lot of work remains ahead to improve our performance and to become profitable.
Good! Now take that money you saved on these "feel good" programs and buy the maintenance department some damn parts so we can fix some planes. I'm tired of flying broken airplanes with a laundry list of MELs and sitting at outstations waiting on parts from ATL.
