www.expressjet.com and look at the recent job postings. There are open positions for Ops managers at each of those locations..... Branded flying will be flying by April 1....
We'll know the news as far as bases by Feb 1 when our perm bid comes out.
Good find! I flew with a check airman a while back who said Jim Ream had sat down with the class of new check airman and basically confirmed most of the rumors. ONT is a go with point-to-point flying around the west coast (he mentioned most of the places there by name as well as a few others) starting in April. The new airplanes are supposed to have new seats, XM radio and $1 beers
He also said CAL may be reconsidering the CHQ decision (since we threw a wrench into the works by keeping the XRs and the newest LRs and there were issues getting the CRJs online) so that may have something to do with why the announcement keeps getting pushed back.
Haven't heard a word about SLC and it would surprise me given the DAL/SKYW relationship there. Flying for DAL out of LAX to Mexico makes more sense but I haven't heard anything about that either. Have heard rumors about Delta in general but that Delta was moving too slow making their decision.
