An airline's biggest asset is competent personnel. It is easier to create a new business plan for an existing airline with capable people than having to build a whole new operation from scratch. ExpressJet can operate a range of aircraft from 50-100 seats and be extremely competitive cost-wise. I am disappointed that United threw the airline in the trash like that. That was not a good decision on their part.
i agree, however my understanding is that UALPA would never let the new company get that workforce for “cheaper” and when you have a company that has a very top heavy workforce it becomes a problem... now that asset becomes a burden and they elected to dissolve and also that rumor with breeze died out supposedly due to this...
