By the way, your ABQ-ONT fare, when purchased 14 days in advance, comes out to a whopping $91.
Bottom line is XJT is doing better than FLYI ever did so they must be doing something right? I suggest you do a little more homework. Have you ever flown on ExpressJet? Where did you get your expertise on the ExpressJet business model?
