at the risk of stating the obvious, isn't this just a case of a non-unionized carrier, SkyWest, killing the unionized side (ExpressJet) to pick off the lift from the carcass?

I don't work there, I was asking as a prospective employee...things don't seem to be getting better, though, no doubt. Apparently, L-ASA union reps put out to start looking for work based off what someone else said on another thread. Still, the airline seems like it has a lot of great people, great performance, and excellent training.
I'd definitely go elsewhere. I sure can't think of any regional ever surviving after parking half it's fleet. (You are right, there are a lot of great people, training is good etc. Doesn't change the likelihood that Skywest is gonna gut the place.) |

Look at how many planes they have. Look at their contract. Air Wisconsin has been hanging around of many years with just CRJ-200's |

39 airframes taken away from 282... don't think that's quite half.
(Using the airframe total here on APC; not sure if it's accurate)

Remember, XJT and ASA two different airlines that happen to share a name. There's no combined fleet, seniority list, contract, etc. Parked ERJ's have no impact on L-ASA and parked CRJ's have no impact on L-XJT.
