As of today 2 mar 07, the aircraft are slated to return to atl and operate there. In a recent memo, it was mentioned that we get 80% of all DCI flying in ATL and that "adjustment to other DCI schedules would be made to comply with this agreement".

As for Xpress jet having lower cost? I don't know, but their pilot pay is actually higher. We have had major maintenance problems and our on time/ completion numbers were not good. Part of the problem was that the brain trust running ASA didn't bother to fill out the OSHA paperwork, so our mechanics who have been here for 2 months still are not legally allowed to touch our aircraft.
FED EX, take me away..........
