The sad part is that ExpressJet didn't even draw the loan money available to save it. They really did just want you folks to disappear.

An airline's biggest asset is competent personnel. It is easier to create a new business plan for an existing airline with capable people than having to build a whole new operation from scratch. ExpressJet can operate a range of aircraft from 50-100 seats and be extremely competitive cost-wise. I am disappointed that United threw the airline in the trash like that. That was not a good decision on their part.

I understand your disappointment, but it should be a lesson to all of us. United never has and never will give a damn about the people who work for it or any of its feeder airlines. Those foolish enough to buy into the core 4 BS are simply victims of labor relations propaganda.
