That is a horrible rumor! Expressjet is losing pilots after than anyone, almost combined! United has taken over 400 of their pilots in the last year alone! The 15 145s Xjet got from us is just a 2 year deal and both sides know that it won't last longer than that. They are barely staffing even with all the planes they are losing. Xjet getting our planes. Hah. Funny stuff.
The Cuuj has a point: you are on the edge of street Captains. Yes it will bleed envoy more dry, but they will cause an issue with the whole plan over there.
