ExpressJet 2.0
 

With all the positive changes going on at ExpressJet, I thought it would be good to start ExpressJet 2.0.

What is positive? You get 25 jets and now work for ManAir?

Awww.... YOUUU MAD BRO??!!

It is good. For the “lifers” and newhires. Still better at the majors. The guys what went to Kallita won’t look back and second guess.... 5 year lease (up to) on the CRJ’s is angood thing. I think the main issue is theis new “Entity” Looks to not be buying the aircraft themselves. I think long run thats not the best for the pilots. Case in point Republic/SkyWest model.. (they purchase most there aircraft) thats why in a ressesion they grew.. No major will shell out billions for aircraft for a regional in a ressesion.. The best thing to happen is XJT getting the E175. They can only grow from there. The E145 was/is a shrinking fleet..

CommutAir just announced a $45,000 new hire bonus on their Facebook page moments ago. (edit: It’s for captain qualified new hires)

United is starting to pump some serious money into their regionals. I wouldn’t be surprised if a similarly high bonus for XJT is announced soon.

That’s certainly good news. But perhaps the best is watching you eat an epic amount of crow.

I think what’s positive is he doesn’t work at go jet.

ManaAir = United. CommutAir = United. United owns the E175’s going to ManaAir. Xjet’s CRJ200’s in ORD is a stop gap measure to retain the ASA pilots until the new ManaAir management team is put into place and figures things out. The CRJ200 lease is “up to” 5 years.

Does anyone know the closing date on the ManaAir purchase?

It’s all speculation at this point, but the last AA flight takes place on 1/6/19, and the ownership contingency of the ratified pilot contract referred to 1/31/19 as the deadline, so a good guess would be that it’ll take place between those dates.

Dude. Seriously. Go get a life. There is so much to life outside these forums!!
