Butthurt and ignorant. And to think you started your post with the question, “jealous of what?”.

Expressjet wasn’t the lowest bidder and I promise you that. If we were so cheap, Skywest would have kept us and grown us.

Buying Expressjet was a strategic move by United. They didn’t buy us because we were the lowest bidder, had the greatest performance. They bought us because they need a regional of size, with experience running a large operation, the infrastructure, which commutair clearly doesn’t.

Skywest destroyed Expressjet and it’s going to take some time to fix it. In the mean time, yes we have a good contract, yes we have a good company(with a good history with employee relations), and yes we appear to have a stable future. Nothing incorrect about any of that.
