" The only things that I can control is my effort and my attitude." I choose to be optimistic about ExpressJet. Yes right now our upgrade time is long, but that can change if we can get the new hires. The company isn't willing to take flying that 1. isn't profitable or 2. we can staff. That seems like good decision making to me. If we get the new hires upgrades time will change quickly.

We wont be closing on Dec. 31st 2017. First off the CRJ contracts go through 2020. Second, does anybody here believe that UAL gave the ERJ side an interview program to then pull all of the flying from that side a 1 1/2 later? The whole point of the program is to keep guys flying on that side until they interview. I might be delusional, but I think this place will be around for at least the next ten years or longer. Personal opinion, blast me if you want to.
