Being totally dependent on United for routes doesn’t really put you guys in a better position. United could build you up, or take everything away. I seriously doubt that either will occur. The reductions are big enough that Expressjet will share in the pain and end up with a furlough and a smaller fleet at the end of the day just like everyone else. Some airlines will take bigger hits than others, but we’re all going to get beat up in this deal.
