Comair & Expressjet
SO does anybody else feel like CONTINENTAL is going to do to EXPRESSJET what DELTA did/is doing to COMAIR?, any thoughts, or has this industry just made me paranoid and slightly crazy

If the pilots strike at XJT, CAL can void your contract. But they can't impose concessions on you. Only your company can do that (ExpressJet Inc.).
So no, CAL won't do to XJT what DAL is doing to Comair. CAL doesn't own ExpressJet.

We're having an intelligent discussion here, don't ruin it.

haha I wont, but from what I am hearing, CHQ wasnt going to be cheaper, and the 15 a/c with COLGAN, well sure the Q400's are great but It wasnt more than a year ago when CAL was pretty unhappy with Colgans performance out of IAH, and throw a new a/c type, Colgans MX dept I am not so sure that will end up CHEAPER either, especially if they have to rebook people etc. DISCLAIMER: Q400 from what I hear tend to break, (Props have more moving parts) and Colgan has run their operation with the mentality that DMI's and MELS' will do until it breaks and then some poor mechanics have to fly out on an empty airplance to fix the darn thing, while CREW Scheduling scrambles to find cres, a/c etc.....I dunno just doesnt make sense to me, but then agian not much does

I agree, just makes me wonder why our flying is getting taken away, I mean Diversify yes, but our product has always been a good one, meanwhile Colgans has been less than stellar, I dunno just makes me wonder ya know?

Maybe CAL gave XJT a chance to bid on the Q400 RFP and they turned it down? Maybe their costs were much higher than the other bidders. Nobody knows except CAL.
