Part of this equation that is rarely mentioned here : the amount of flights issued by united for Expressjet to cover. They knowingly continuously assign many more flights than Expressjet can staff or recommends assigning. They assign it anyway knowing full well a good number will be cancelled.
Also, Expressjet cancels flights well in advance because of crew and this reason. It's not like the company is expecting to staff the flight, and then the day of, the pilots walked out and now the company is failing.

Erj135dude, It's what airline management does. They're hoping that the pilots will pick up the open time. I've been called every day this month on my off day to tell me their are trips at 150%.
