If they weren't so senior they wouldn't be stagnant, there would be seniority movement, there would be new hires to keep up with staffing needs.
No, what is killing ExpressJet is SkyWest, Inc. Seniority movement, number-wise is there. I move up between 20 and 50 numbers per month. In the past 2 years, I've seen our IAH domicile lose about 100 lines, and aircraft leave to Transtates and Commutair. From what I've been told, we didn't even bother to attempt to renegotiate our DEN flying.
