arent the crj-200's on a lease with chq that ends in Dec 08-may 09. there are roughly 20 of them.

the whole chq-xjt thing is BS. its perpetuated by the idiots of both of our pilot groups.

chq and cal did have a bit of a falling out though. cal was not happy with the initial performance and i believe cal gave chq a shape up or ship out deal. chq started performing much better and things are fine now and the crjs were relocated to better suited routes. It wasnt chq's fault. if cal wanted erj's on the routes then cal should have said so. idiot bean counters making decisions is a bad move.

if cal flying was to come from the xjt side it would start in dec 2009. That is the soonest any flying can be taken from us unless our entire CPA is cancelled. CAL does lease us our aircraft so if we decide to keep those airframes which we are allowed to do then CAL has a financial stake in our success or failure. a CH 11 filing from our company could hurt CAL
