ExpressJet coming back?
All -
Help me out with some -121 terms here to start out this thread. What exactly is meant by "branded" flying? Does that mean flying routes under your own name vice as a contract carrier - or whatever the proper term is?
I'm flying back from OK in Dec and the ticket says it is on Continential (operated by ExpressJet).
Now that I fly back and forth from Fresno to San Diego and from Ontario to Oklahoma quite often - I sure would like to see the return of ExpressJet as they had direct flights. The few times I flew them before I had great experiences (see previous posts).
So....with oil below $50/gal - any chance of seeing those routes start up again?

The only I could see it return anytime soon is if we get some sort of financing from an outside investor.

Before I become an FA with Mesa, I worked with XJT as ramp and gate agent out of TYS. They started furloughing so I had to make a decision really fast. I have to say that I wish XJT the best of luck. It was a great airline to work for. They were like family to me. Very professional people to work for.
