Just the Branded, and the Delta Connection

Most likely anyone hired at Expressjet after 2006 will be furloughed, regardless of their domicile.

This is terrible news for the great guys over at XJT. I have jumpseated on XJT both on the branded side and COEX side many times & always found them to be absolutely great. I have many friends who fly for XJT & I wish any and all of you the best in these difficult times.

As I have ranted before...if you are still employed at any airline, do your best to help out those who have recently been furloughed from other airlines get hired at your airline. The Cessna 150 Flight Instructor can wait for his chance at the golden ring a little longer. Remember...what goes around comes around. Your airline & mine might be doing well right now, but you never know when things may change & we might be on the losing end of a pink slip. It's time to drop the petty arguments about different carriers and just help your fellow flight crew brothers out during these difficult times.

Just my $.02 for what it's worth.

Someone's friend's aunt's boyfriend's cousin's husband's sister's friend's brother who know's a guy who knows a guy that once took a picture of an XJet 145 in LAX and got it miraculously uploaded to Airliners.Net. Isn't that how it usually works?

I've rode on Xjet quite a bit and even bought tickets twice. They have a superior product.
