Only way I could see this happening would be a flow announcement to UA.
Otherwise, it’s gonna be slower to get to those numbers.
Hiring will pick up after adding this bonus. And, if ExpressJet’s CPP is restructured like CommutAir’s, hiring will definitely pick up. And, when CPP hits 3 years seniority for ExpressJet pilots, the dam will break.
To catch up with American’s regional flow program is nearly impossible. American’s wholly owns are hiring 145 and 175 street captains and has the ability to force upgrade FO’s. And, they know that 8 years or so down the line, they will make to American. When do you see ExpressJet hiring street captains into their 145 and 175 programs? I would say two years at the outside on the 145 fleet.
There is definitely a positive outlook for ExpressJet.
