The Future of Regionals
Hello,
I am currently a college student and I have accepted my conditional job offer with ExpressJet as part of their Pilot Pathway Program (basically get the job while in college barring you don't fail out or snort cocaine before the drug testing). However, even though ExpressJet is a good choice for myself QOL wise (I will be moving home to New Jersey after college so I won't have to commute) I fear their future. They are currently one of the largest regionals but that is rapidly changing with them parking the ERJ's by the end of 2017. I guess what I am asking is if going to ExpressJet will be the right choice. I know that no regional is "stable" but one that is parking planes obviously doesn't seem like a smart choice. Is there any chance of them getting new planes or United stopping parking the ERJ retirements? Thanks for any help and I know that asking this will be pointless but don't make this a ****ing contest over who has a better regional.
