They wanted to spend money to lose money because expressjet had unionized pilots?

I can't believe your airline still has an IT department though. That is shady.

No ones cooking books.. They even said they made a huge "miscalculation" on the contract when they bought XJT. The guy behind that was sent out the door... now the mop up continues. Plan and simple.

This is just my opinion but I really think if Inc. was so concerned about getting the costs of the XJT under control, they would have done something about in the last three years other than let us sit on our hands while the lights are turned off one by one. Every other regional in that time frame has seemed to blossom into something great but XJT, nah, unsalvagable, shut it down boys, problem solving is hard.

And what did you think they'd say? Um, we bought Express Jet to gain a big chunk of the market share. That's all. How long did it take them to put that deal together to buy Express Jet anyways? IIRC, I think that it was quite a while. I seriously doubt they did that without doing their research.

Go back and listen to all the conference calls. It gets spit out more then once.. It came down to they signed a deal based on SkyWest costs but never could make that happen do to multiple reasons.. at first i thought they didn't want the E145. But now they dont even want ASA 200's..

Actually they're replacing some of the high time OO 200's with EV birds. Go figure.

They could have made it all work but the anti-union is too strong. The XJT and ASA MEC were all for negotiating something for all three pilot groups that was beneficial to all sides. Instead they decided to do it their way thinking they could get the XJT and ASA pilot group go for their concessions. And they might still succeed. But in the meantime they have squandered hundreds of thousands of dollars and thousands of jobs.

I thought OO announced they are parking all 200s this year. Why would they take EVs?

Really, what planet are you on? OO didn't announce parking all 200's. OO said that they were getting rid of the 200 fleet at Express Jet
