Why would someone come to Expressjet if they wanted to fly E-175s? That would be dumb, go to Republic or Skywest instead.
Not growing. We’ve been contracted to fly 120+ 145’s for ages now. They couldn’t attract enough talent to fill those seats so the fleet just dwindled down. This isn’t new flying.
Nobody can really spin this into a positive other than the Denver base.
EWR and ORD are rumored to close as well. That’ll come in a later e-mail.
