The fleet count
Well be adding two more ERJ135s to our fleet that will be flying in time to support additional lines of flying in our United Express summer schedule. These additional aircraft bring our ERJ135 count to seven. Our Maintenance division is working hard to bridge the additional aircraft onto our maintenance programs and is projecting they will have all seven aircraft up to ExpressJet standards and flying by mid-May. With two CRJ700s exiting the fleet this month, heres a breakdown of our fleet effective May 2012. CRJ200: .

Total aircraft 404
Because of these additional aircraft, and to keep up with turnover, we will be running new-hire pilot classes for both the ERJ and CRJ fleets for the next few months. Without significant changes in our major partners current plans for the summer schedule, our staffing is on track to ensure we meet our schedule obligations while ensuring a good quality of life for our crew members.
