Jeezuz. For crying out loud, will you please get with the program already?
No one on this forum is suggesting categorically that ExpressJet will be extinct.
What people are trying to tell you is that chances are better than even that XJT will come out of this mess significantly smaller than it is now.
You sure as death are not going to be flying all 36 of those dilapidated ex-Transstates Fred Flintstone-mobiles when the dust settles on this mess.

The 175’s that XJT were flying are actively transferring to SkyWest. Are the 145’s that TSA was flying actually transferring to XJT, are they currently going through maintenance inspections before they transfer, or are they parked right now while United decides if they want to keep them?

they are all 2002-2004 airplanes, so newer than most of the XJT LR fleet.
I was sort of hoping XJT could park all the single FMS airplanes, then as many LRs as possible and just operate XRs for a while. All nice thoughts since it won't matter soon anyway.

According to mgmt., they've all been transferred to the XJT non-rev ops spec, presumably to facilitate ferrying and other mx activities. No idea what the priority or timing is for getting them through formal conformance to be on the revenue ops spec. I heard that TSA had removed the extra FA jumpseat and the XJT approved config requires that, so attaining those and installing them was one of the tasks on the list of things to do. These days, I would think it's a pretty low priority. Not sure where these airframes are at the moment, but there are a lot of 145s parked at TYS (an XJT mx base for those not familiar).

Thanks. There are a bunch of big decisions going on in Chicago about what to keep and what to retire these days. They are parking the entire 756 fleet until June 3rd for now. Being that Scott Kirby has repeatedly said that the 756 and 50 seaters could have a shorter than expected future with United, I’m interested in what he has to say next week during the town hall.
