FUBAR... Captains at 150% pay for open time pick up for almost 4 months straight, Reassignments at end of pairings, most recently 200% pay to try and fix a lack of staffing in both seats since February. Crews are getting to the point of exhaustion. We have cut costs to the bone to try and be profitable.

Try providing factual info. Your anti ExpressJet flamebait rants are getting old. You really should find something better to do.

I think his SKW ego was bruised because the XJT MEC told his CEO to go pound sand.

Wait did you say they reduce the flying during peak season (summer)?
