This is the problem. UAL tried it already with CommutAir and it didn't work out so well. It's getting harder and harder to find out of work pilots sleeping under overpasses by airports willing to raise the gear for peanuts and a 1/5th of Mad Dog 20/20.

I heard the 24th. My odds- 50% no news, 35% bad news wrapped as good news, 10% new UAL flying for the CRJ's, 5% UAL purchased us. It is interesting that as the CRJ flying has wound down they have not had any ERJ position notices.

ExpressJet is not the only airline involved. There will be a notification shortly (prior to 31st).

I heard that is tomorrow, May 24. Can anyone confirm that?

Today, 9am was the start of meeting.

The announcement supposedly coming by the end of this month is for a CPA involving CRJ flying, not the rumored purchase. Rumored purchase isn’t suppose to be announced until the fall.

All parties will be (or should be pleased).

Unless it entails an Atlanta base with at least 30 aircraft, then no-all parties will not be pleased.

During the DFW meet a couple weeks ago, the idea of a small Atlanta base was floated. Apparently UAX has 13 CRJ flights into ATL most/everyday and XJT was going to go after those flights. But nobody hold their breath, it’s up to UAL though.

Sooo, UA is scoped out on large RJ. Are you talking 200 flying or is someone else losing flying? And who would that be?
