What was that "fuel savings" program again? Did you know the RJ can cruise at .83+? Enjoy your next profit sharing check. Oh wait, nevermind, Lambourne. At least you can be jealous of the ones the DAL guys get.
Burn the fuel at .83. It just pounds the nail further into the coffin that is Expressjet. You most likely need to fly fast to make up for how delayed your flights are. Expressjet has an abysmal on time record. Your days are numbered and like you mentioned to one of the endeavor pilots in another thread, the sooner Expressjet follows COMAIR the better.
I am not jealous of delta pilots. I am happy they are reaping the rewards of sound management. At least DL is talking steps to shed RJ flying. Rumor is we are in the process of doing the same. Do hope we can achieve a modicum of their success.
In the meantime what is your plan B? Where are you going when Expressjet rolls over? I've been at UA over 25 years. I've seen plenty express carriers go TU. You might be the next.
Have a good weekend.
