The very first two airplanes (CRJ-900s) we're losing this month are going to ExpressJet, not GoJets. And I'm pretty sure the last growth announcements have come from ExpressJet, SkyWest, and Compass pooling up newhires for what I'm sure will be growth on their end later next year.

I think it so ironic that an airline (Pinnacle) that was built on folks that paid their way into a job and had the lowest wages for over a decade can give grief to any other carrier. It is what it is. Placing blame on another carrier for your own company's poor leadership, management, and (quite frankly) god-awful hiring practices is ridiculous.

Good luck to all.
