As mentioned before we have a guaranteed revenue stream from CAL and from our charter.
We also have the infrastructure already in place to support the maintenance and operations.
We are not in direct competition with anyone, as we will be flying out of medium to small markets which are currently underserved.
The XR is lot more efficient than a CRJ-200.
Less than a quarter of our fleet will be dedicated to this venture (at first).
If a market is successful enough, who is to say we won't upgrade it to bigger equipment. After all we do have 100 pending options with Embraer, which can be converted from XR's.
Do I need to keep going? Different ball game people, different ball game!
No to mention Independence Air was starting out in debt in a time of rising crude prices...whereas ExpressJet has millions upon millions of dollars to spend. If it fails...big deal...so they're out some capital and they still have the COA contract. Originally Posted by Sanchez

Not to mention they treat their employees great.
My only pick with XJT is...they're getting so many mainline routes...
IAH-PSP
IAH-PBI
IAH-GRR
Those should be for major pilots, but trying to save $$ COA gives them to XJT...but hey...more power to you.
