What's the Latest at ASA/Expressjet?
There is one operating certificate.
So them tell me what NDA are you talking about? But it won't matter because even though you are wrong, you will never admit it. That's why you say Acey has two syllables. You couldn't just admit to a silly meaningless error. So I won't expect you to admit so anything more serious. But please try, just for the entertainment value you provide.

Try to follow along, Pops.
The contracts on these 50 seat jets are almost all expiring between now and 2017. UAL and DAL are trying to get SKW to extend these contracts at the money losing rates. SKW is telling UA/DL to pound sand and good luck getting passengers into your hubs or someone else to feed them. SKW is betting that UA/DL have overplayed their hand by removing feed without replacement, and I will put my money with them any day. Yes, the pro rate flying it making beaucoup bucks. Before long, you will see big airplanes with SkyWest on the tail, operating under the OO code competing with you in your largest hubs. How long are you from retirement, gramps?

Word at UA is they are actively seeking used narrowbody airplanes to up the flying to the RJ markets. Let's hope UA take the same path as DL in returning the flying to UA. Either way you are on the outside looking in and probably couldn't get another job even if you put an ounce of effort into the process. You are probably exspousing to anyone that will listen how you desrve mainline seniority and a flow through. You are quick to shout down other regional pilots and their prospective contracts yet you yourself sold out to take a job at the regional you work for. If you guys had been holding the line years ago and not accepting those low paying regional jobs you wouldn't be in the predicament you are in now. You can paint a 1,000 houses and they wont call you a painter, but you give one ..........
You are a flying for a company that dosn't have future or is desired by those that have proped it up for years. Go ahead and start that independent carrier, in fact why don't you call it "indpendence" HA HA HA. Or just paint your airplanes a bizare shade of green and call it expressjet. That experiment worked out really well now didn't it?

It's called pro-rate flying, not branded flying. SkyWest is already doing plenty of this with both Delta, American and United and it most definitely is a money-maker. The entire EMB operation for Delta out of SLC is pro-rate flying. They would not be competing against their partner.
