All of the rumors were floating around about us getting more Midwest flying, and the news never came out. And then out of nowhere, it was announced that Skyway was shutting down in two months. At that point, I realized that the news was held off so that Skyway pilots wouldn't leave right away knowing that they would lose their jobs in the coming months regardless.

Does anyone think that this is going on right now with ExpressJet? I can't see any reason why we are now interviewing and supposedly hiring. We apparently have 145 manuals already written. This is about the only thing I can't think of. I guess some news will be coming in the next few months, but if the junior ExpressJet guys get wind of it they may quit now and try to build seniority somewhere else. Hence the reason to interview/hire without any announcements.

Thoughts?
