An ironic statement coming from an ExpressJet pilot. Undercutters have always been undercut....the way of the fee for departure world. Anyone remember when TSA was the regional of the west? Westair? Regional guys who claim to have such great contracts should do some investigation and see how the Westair contract looked. The whole thing is a poorly timed game of musical chairs and nothing more.

I guess those of us at ExpressJet should just take huge paycuts so we can get all the CAL flying back.
Horizon is one of the last regionals to defy that model and as a result has service and equipment many MAJORS don't even know exists. It is sad to see such unoriginal thinking by Ayer and his henchmen bring a good place down.
