Currently all of them are, but that can change with every class, although it shouldn't take long to get where you want to go.

So these were Delta employees doing inventory of Expressjet property? And you spoke to one of them personally?

It's true. He spoke to a Delta employee who heard it from his cousin who writes free lance news articles, who found a link in an e-mail about cheap Canadian viagra that had a janitor who cleaned the GO at night.

A few questions if someone could answer:

1. How soon could a new hire expect to be awarded CLE?
2. What fleet is based there?
3. Is hotel accommodation during training single occupancy?

Thanks

Yes to both questions. I spoke to him personally and he is a Delta employee.

Horia,

It's been about two years since I went through training, so I'm not exactly sure about the accommodations...

As for getting CLE, it's our smallest base and very senior, but you can put that as your "number one" choice on your wish list and hope to be put there. If not, you could always trade with someone looking to get out of CLE...realize if you get placed there, reserve might be awhile. To answer your last question, XJT only operates the -145 out of there.

Pm me if you have any more questions

You lost me at "Buy back ASA" seeing as how they don't exist anymore.

I'm sorry. Bless your heart. You must be new or unaware. Delta only wants the previous ASA side only. So when you hear pilots talking about our contract negotiations we reference ASA for our side and ExpressJet for the other side.
So if you are on the ExpressJet side then lucky you if Delta doesn't take your side since this would be bad for us ASA folks.
