Yes, I know. I was on property for all that. I'll never forget being called a WCW on that conference call.

Excellent Synopsis
I would add - Chataqua was using Express Jet's aircraft against them by bidding directly with CAL with those planes. Ream correctly saw through the scam and exercised the first right of refusal and kept the aircraft. Branded was intended to offset the cost of the planes. The only mistake in that decision was the horrendous paint job. The paint shop was in SHV so maybe the designer came from the Big Easy.

I wonder why nobody mentions that the MEC said no to 175s for delta in 2007? I honesty think this was the beginning of the end of XJT.
their exact words were, “we have no business flying aircraft that size”.
