Default 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.

Pretty quiet lately in the rumor department. I've heard rumblings that CAL wants to reduce our flying further but haven't seen anything concrete to support those rumors. Charter has been doing reasonably well since most of the big contracts are college teams and NASCAR. 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.

The rumors is that possibly 200 furloughs but this all depends on CAL and a other things. There are no talks about call backs, just 347 people that want to be called back.

I'm sure all of us F'ed TSA would appreciate your longterm ERJ145 help in ORD and IAD! 300-350 furloughed is just crazy though, good luck to Xjet pilots.

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.

I should point out that the 11,000 may be system-wide and not all from XJT.

Actually, I did mean XJT. In other words, CAL may be dropping 11,000 hours from their system, including CAL, XJT, Colgan, CHQ, etc. As opposed to dropping XJT's block hours by 11,000.
