I think you are a little confused. Express Jet had its own "airline" called Express Jet for a little while until it collapsed (this was pre merger with ASA). The EV (ASA) American flying just recently started post merger (still operated by ASA).

The original poster in reference to the ExpressJet branded operation compared it to the probable failure to the massive growth RAH is attempting. All on the backs of over worked and underpaid pilots with the worst contract in the industry.

Yet for some reason pilots still choose to seek employment there....
