ExpressJet closing four stations and cutting Branded 30% is a huge reduction for ExpressJet? Dude, do you even know how big our Branded operation is? 30% of our Branded operation is less than 5% of our entire operation. Plus our Charter division is growing.
Oh, and ExpressJet is something to write home about, as are a bunch of other good QOL regionals out there.

So you're saying you would go to GoJets if you needed to? That is despicable.
Only have a 200 hours in a Piper warrior sport. My flight instructing time is split between 15 different aircraft, so not sure where you think I taught at UND.

Well that just pretty much sums up everything about you.
I also think Mesaba is far better than Pinnacle in terms of QOL, yet you keep clumping them in with Pinnacle and continue to makeit seem like I am bashing Mesaba? The only thing bad at Mesaba is the -900 pay, other than that it is far superior than Pinnacle.
