No matter which carrier you chose, starting in March (Spring Break time) flying really picks up system wide. Carriers add extra flights as there are more travelers going on vacation.....After Labor Day, flying slows down....it's been that way for years for every carrier.....so it sounds like ExpressJet is gearing up and hiring now, so come March new hires are done with training, & they as a company, can staff their airplanes to support the extra Spring/Summer flying.
