For those who don't know, ExpressJet is currently composed of two completely separate labor groups. It is the result of a failing/failed merger attempt. L-XJT is the larger side and operates the ERJ. L-ASA operates the CRJ. Pilots/FA's cannot currently bid the other aircraft. Seniority lists, labor contracts, operations, mechanics, etc., is all separate, but the airline operates under one name. The name is from L-XJT and the logo is from L-ASA. Therefore it makes sense to have separate threads to help keep the information specific to one side separate from the other.
So here it is. Hopefully this will help.
Pardon my ignorance, but what is the significance of the "L" preceding each labor group name? Why not just refer to them as XJT and ASA?
