ExpressJet Update?
Hey guys, just curious whats going on over there? I know you have some guys on furlough, has the company said anything about additional furloughs or is it all just rumors? It seems like Charter has been generating some good revenue but I know that side of the industry is always up and down....Just curious what the Fall looks like for you guys.

There are about 10 airplanes doing United Express flying out of ORD and IAD for the next month or so. There is some hope that this temporary United stuff could lead to a more permanent contract but given UAL's history with us and current mantra of "lowest cost at any price" I am not holding my breath. Still have about 300-350 on furlough with no word on more furloughs. That may change depending on how the block hours change in the fall with CAL.

FWIW, I flew with an FO who was recently in re-current and "Pedro Mariner" mentioned that CAL normally reduces the flying by 7000 hours from August to September but this year the number is closer to 11,000. Line values will suck.

I also heard 11000 from a buddy of mine but he said that's including the ual flying. Either way another 200 furlough would put you guys close to 550 on furlough. That's ridiculous! Best of luck with everything, let's hope for some good news.
