Man it annoys me when people say "We (ASA) bought Expressjet!" Where do people come up with that crap? It just embarrasses me to be associated with those people. You cannot buy ASA stock because ASA has no money. If ASA has no money, then how did they buy another airline. The holding company acquired the two airlines and merged their certificates. It's as easy as that.

Phew........just had to vent a little.
