Is ExpressJet that bad?

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.

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.

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.
